The weekend promises promises cloudy conditions with plenty of sunny spells. So reasonable prospect for the seven T20 Finals in Leinster to be played to a finish. The alternatives – super overs, bowl out, coins tosses and sharing of titles are really not to be contemplated.
12 clubs have made it through to this final weekend, with two – YMCA and Merrion – having two teams involved. Three matches are taking place today [Saturday], the two highest divisions and the new Adamstown Cup. The main venue is Sydney Parade [with the matches live streamed] and Corkaig Park.
The full list of finalists are:
| D1 | DHL [Alan Murray] | YMCA v Railway Union | Sydney Parade | Sat 15.00 |
| D2 | IBI [TIllain] | Merrion 2 v Knockharley | Sydney Parade | Sat 10.45 |
| D3 | LHK [Middle] | Merrion 3 v YCMCA 3 | Anglesea Road | Sun 15.00 |
| D4 | Goldfish [Salver] | The Hills 2 v Greystones | Anglesea Road | Sun 10.45 |
| D5 | Sportshub [Whelan] | Clontarf 4 v Leinster 4 | Park Avenue | Sun 15.00 |
| D6 | Ed Sports [Russell Court] | Terenure 3 v North Kildare 3 | Park Avenue | Sun 10.45 |
| D7 | Adamstown Cup | Athlone v Tyrrelstown 3 | Corkaigh Park | Sat 14.00 |
The matches at Anglesea Road take place tomorrow. Unfortunately spectators are not allowed because of government restrictions but again the games are being live streamed.
