2010: Phoenix Park Away
In a closely contested match where Halverstown's Des Drum, helped provide
3 reserves to our squad, a narrow victory was achieved. The Archivers batted
first and after a very slow start, some magnificent run rate improvement and
big hitting by Dave Lee (20 in 6 balls), Iain Walker (20 in 7 balls) and
Geoff Nurse (20 in 11 balls) plus good striking by Joe Fallon and Robin
Addis, allowed the posting of a respectable total of 134 in the
fifteen 8 ball overs on a tricky turf wicket.
Phoenix started their innings well and were 90 for 6 wickets after
11 overs. However some very tidy spells of bowling from Stuart Reay, Owen
Jacob and Dave Lee at the end, limited Phoenix to 121. Of special
note too was some really impressive fielding prowess shown by Robin Addis in
front of the main grandstand, in cutting of certain boundaries in the last
few overs.
Man of the Match award from Phoenix/Malcolm was given to Geoff
Nurse, who indicated to Dave Lee later that he deserved it, especially
for his tremendous batting and bowling plus all round performance.
