MCB Cricket

Well done to the U12 & U13 boys’ teams this week who dodged the showers and played some excellent cricket against Ballymena & Ballyclare. Both teams are now through to their respective cup semi finals. Henry (u12) & Noah (u13) were the major contributors with the bat

One change to the schedule. The U12s will now be away to CCB. 8.30 meet at CCB

Cricket plans for this week….

Well done to our girls’ U13B team this morning who played brilliantly to win against Wallace. The U13 & U15 teams lost narrowly to Wallace in their league games

Five incredibly close matches this morning in our McCullough Cup block vs RBAI. Our U12s, 13s, 14s & 15s all won to see us win the fixture 4-2. Too many incredible performances to list them all but lots of photos in the thread….

Our U12 girls’ cricket teams had their first competitive matches today at Wallace. Brilliant to see so many girls getting involved!

Cricket plans for this week…

Wins for the 1st XI, U15s, U14s, U13s & U12s against Sullivan this morning. Special performances from David who scored 34 runs for the U15s, Noah & Michael took 4 wkts each for the U13s and Jay took 5 wkts for the U14s

Two good league wins this morning for our U13 & U15 girls at Friends. The U15B team also enjoyed themselves in a friendly match against the same opposition.

Our 2nd XI has crept over the line in a thriller against GGS to reach the 2s cup final. A stunning 70 run stand from Luca and Rory the difference. Our U15 boys lost a last ball thriller at Lisneal despite a 54 run partnership between Sharuya & David & some superb tight bowling.

The U15 girls have progressed to the QF of the Junior Schools’ Cup beating Strabane with a very disciplined bowling performance as Ellie, Hannah, Charlotte, Cora & Anna shared the wickets. some solid batting by Poppy and Hannah saw the girls reach their target comfortably

A 5 wicket win for the 1st XI today vs Wallace at Pirrie Park. Henry (60) Ollie(40) the main contributors with the bat & 2 wickets for Max on his 1st XI debut. Our U15 girls got their league campaign off to a flyer with victory against Sullivan. Hannah (4wickets)

Superb one wicket win for the 2nd XI today. They beat Ballyclare in the 1st round of the 2s Schools’ Cup. Disappointing day for the 1sts who came up short in a close encounter at Bangor GS. All the best to them in the next round. Our 1st XI will now play in the Schools’ Plate

Ten years ago this month we upgraded our cricket facilities at Pirrie. Thank you to everyone who was involved & contributed to the project at that time. Your generosity has allowed hundreds of boys & girls the opportunity to develop their cricket skills in first class facilities.
