Woah woah woah

Don't sneak on here with a cheeky one while I'm out revelling.

Counter to recent criticism I'm going away from the lime light and plumping for Ireland Under 19s' Joshua Little who got 35 runs and 4-28 against Jersey Under 19s.

Oh I know it isn't it....."Thank you Professor. I find your comments inspiring, moving and, frankly, intellectually intimidating. I love you with every core of my being."

Ah that McEnroe.

Such a character.

A fantastic burst of wickets saw Ireland Under 19s' Graham Kennedy claim figures of 7-13 against Denmark Under 19s to keep his side top of the table.

Might just have bunged it to Gentle Ben for his magnificent spell, two top order wickets and handy 31 quick runs.

Oliver Hald's 65 runs and 2-26 could not stop Denmark Under 19s from being defeated by Jersey Under 19s today.
