Under 17 Semi-final: Clontarf beat Lisburn by 1 run.
Magheramason, 18 August.



Clontarf held their nerve in a thriller to beat Lisburn by one run in the All-Ireland U17 Girls semi-final at Bready. Skipper Genevieve Morrissey's 53 from 47 balls (8 fours) had taken Clontarf to 119- for 6 in their 20 overs. Rebecca Lowe (42) looked to be winning it for Lisburn, but three wickets for Aoibheann Synnott, including Lowe tilted the game back. Eight were needed from the last over, and in a frantic finale, there was a hat-trick of run-outs as Clontarf's bowlers and fielders did Castle Avenue proud. Clontarf will now play hosts Bready later this afternoon in the final.
Under 17 Final: Bready lost to Clontarf by 49 runs.
Magheramason, 18 August.



Genevieve Morrissey led Clontarf to victory in the final with her second half century of the day in the final against hosts Bready. Morrissey hit an unbeaten 66 as Clontarf posted 144-5, with runs too for Julie McNally (33). Jodie Spence took four wickets in a fine bowling display, but six dropped catches were to prove costly for Bready. The chase was soon in trouble with the top-order failing to fire. Erin Mowbray, Corrinne Young and Jodie Spence all made unlucky 13 as they were bowled out for 95 - three wickets for Hannah Lee, and two apiece for Ava O'Reilly, Katie O'Toole and Aoibheann Synnott. It's Clontarf's fourth All-Ireland with this talented squad who made up a little for the disappointment of Saturday's loss for their senior men at this venue in the Irish Senior Cup final.

The chase was a straightforward one as Aisling Lawlor 35 (4 fours) and Lainey Harte (26*) sharing an opening stand of 73 in just 7.3 overs. Isabella Wray took two consolation wickets, but Merrion sealed the win in the 12th over. They had a 9-wicket win in the semi-final against Bready in a high-scoring game. The NW champions made 126 for 8 - Jodie Spence scoring 26. Trudy Molins and Kerrie Delaney amongst the wickets.

Max O'Dowd: The evolution to a process driven approach
Max O'Dowd is an opening batsman for the Netherlands who has quietly gone about fashioning a strong record across all three formats. He grabbed the headlines earlier this year when he guided the Dutch home in a monstrous chase of 370 against Scotland in an ODI in Dundee. Opening the innings, he made an unbeaten 158 from just 130 balls to take his team to victory with four balls remaining and four wickets in hand.
