Bagenalstown 2 v North Kildare Cricket Club Men's 2nd XI on Sat 14 Jul 2012 at 2 pm
North Kildare Cricket Club Lost by 6 wickets

Match report The Mens 2nds travelled to Bagenalstown for the Dick O'Neill Memorial quarter final.

With the toss won, Gordie chose to bat on eh..on eh..the grass wicket. I won't go into too much detail, but top scores of the innings were 17 from Ger Horn off 71 balls (yes - that's right, 71 balls) and Dáire O'Neill (17 not out off 76 balls - yes, that's right, 76 balls). Orthodox batting was made impossible by the swamp-like conditions and heavy outfield, but good and disciplined bowling from the Bagenalstown attack meant that North Kildare made 88 for 9 off their 40 overs.

Now..."good" and "disciplined" - they're two words to describe the Bagenalstown bowling. Unfortunately, because this report goes into the public domain, I am not permitted to use the appropriate words to describe the North Kildare bowling. Certainly, "good" and "disciplined" will not feature in my description of the dross generally delivered by our bowlers. Too many short balls that sat up and begged to be hit just about sums it up.

However, with the game drifting away, the skipper threw the ball to Zak Bursey (3-0-9-2) who did enough with the ball to induce errors from two Bagenalstown batsmen. A positive note on what was otherwise a disappointing performance allround from North Kildare.

We visit Bagenalstown this coming Sunday, where we WILL give a better account of ourselves.
