Wow, what a game to get us started today. The momentum swung one way and then the other. Just what you;d want to see. The Knights openers went off like a train, with both Stirling and Adair hitting the ball all around the ground. Although Ben White produced some magic with his legspin to get rid of all three of the Knights top order. Which slammed the brakes on the chase. The Reds would have been been worried when the tail wagged, but McDonough bowled Davey to finish things off. 14 runs was the margin of victory in the end. You'll not be surprised to find out that Ben White has been named the player of the match. He bowled excellently today. The Reds pick up four points for the win and close in on the Warriors, even though they are still bottom of the table. Thanks for following along, the second game of today's double header starts at 3:45pm, so please join me then for the Leinster Lightning vs the North West Warriors. Until then, this is Justin saying goodbye from Dublin.
