Ireland beat Scotland by 85 runs
Loughborough University, 13 September.
Ireland 313/9 (50 overs: Jordan Neill 110, Freddie Ogilby 89, Ollie Riley 22*; Zainullah Ishan 3-42, Nikhil Koteeswaran 2-51, Mackenzie Jones 2-57)
Scotland 228 (43.4 overs: Owen Gould 54, Jamie Dunk 31, Mackenzie Jones 28, Manu Sarasawat 20; Ollie Riley 4-27, Harry Dyer 3-36)
Jordan Neill who scored 110 in a partnership with Freddie Ogilby worth 181 (ICC)
Ireland lost Brian Dunphy in the third over, run out without scoring after being asked to bat by Scotland.
The Scots side is their 'Academy' and features 10 of last year's U19 World Cup Squad so a stiff challenge for the younger Irish lads today.
Highlight of the Irish innings this morning was a 181 run partnership for the third wicket between yesterday's top-scorer Freddie Ogilby and skipper Jordan Neill whose 110 included 10x4s & 7x6s.
A great platform set by that pair and Ireland were able to push on despite losing wickets along the way to post a formidable 313.
The customary half-time team talk in these situations tend to be - ‘OK lads, a few tight overs to start ….’ Here’s hoping.
Big Ollie Riley struck three times in quick succession as Scotland went from 39 for 0 to 44 for 3.
Treble strike for CSNI triumvirate of Harry Dyer, James West and skipper Jordan Neill has put Ireland in total control and they eventually won convincingly.
