Great day for the First X1 in their game against North Kildare on Sunday. North Kildare won the toss and elected to bat first. They started tentatively with Cian Nulty and Killian McGrane taking two early wickets, 2 for 38 off 9.3. Asadullah Ahmadzai (40 off 22) staged a steadying come back before being dismissed with the score on 94 for 4. After that the wickets kept falling at regular intervals before they were dismissed for 151 in 39.5 overs. Pick of The Hills bowling attack was young Febin Manoj with 6 wickets for 41 off 8.5 and support coming from Cian Nulty, Tomás Rooney Murphy and Killian McGrane with a wicket each.

Febin Manoj with 6 wickets

The Hills reply started in blistering fashion with the two Sherzad brothers Yaseen(43) and Muzamil (36) bringing the score to 94 in the 12th over for the loss of just 2 wickets. Contributions from Joseph Russell (12), Max Robertson (21)*, Andrew Kavanagh (12)* saw The Hills reach the target in the 23rd over. The Hills cause was helped along the way with the concession of 27 wides.

Don’t forget the craic game on Friday for “Mothers and Others” from about 6 p.m.
