Match 6: Jersey vs Ireland

The Jersey team had to rush over from their first match of the day for the return clash with the Irish. We started well exchanging runs for the first few innings with the Irish just pulling ahead.

The Irish were helped by Jersey losing their composure somewhat with an unusual number of fielding errors, most notably from Sean and JP...and G…and Tels…and Andy…and Lynn…and Sarah…and Julie…and Micky…and Phil….and Garry…and Sarah M… and Id…In all a fantastic team effort!! (At least everyone gets a mention in this write up!)

Part way through, Micky G had an unfortunate clash with a fly ball and had to be subbed out, but was ok – just a bit of ‘botox lip’!

The Irish continued to be stronger with the bat, managing to thwart Jersey and keep their run tally under control, to draw ahead and claim their second victory.

Final score: Jersey 5 – 28 Ireland
