Renno's Review 2009 |
League
- Records are a bit scarce, as the multi captaincy issues meant that scorecards were hard to come by. However, batting didn't seem to be the problem. Imran Mohammed had his famous blitzkrieg against Halverstown, adding another 96 runs to finish with 201 @ 40.20. Khizer Khan was also useful with 198 @ 39.60, Ikram Niazi scored 170 runs whilst onlky being dismissed once, Michael Lenehan 131 @ 32.75 and Bard Ovenden 126 @ 31.50. You don;t tend to finish 3rd from bottom in the league with figures like that, so the problems must have been elsewhere. Only four bowlers took more than three wickets - Imran with 11 @ 6.45, Bharat Sharma ((9 @ 12.78), Rakesh Dixit (8 @ 20.88) and Vikram Singh (8 @ 13.25). Those perennial bugbears of lack of leadership, and an unsettled squad didn't help either |
Cup
- A fine 1st round performance to beat Pembroke by 8 wickets (Scully, Maybury-Thornton and Lenehan starring), followed by a many time postponed match against YM, resulting in a bowl out victory. The run came to an end with defeat to North Wicklow/Avondale. |
20/20 - A match that has disappeared into the mists of time due to not being able to get the scorecard. I've heard that Pembroke won in a match where the scores finished level |
Review
-
It's been said a thousand times that success doens't come to teams without a settled team or a settled captaincy. The 5ths struggled on, cobbling together teams throughout the season. Of the 49 players used, only 27 were members of the club, a situation that won't be allowed to happen again. |

5th XI News 2009 |
League re-organisation may have brought new opportunities for many teams, but for Leinster 5ths, there is still no chance of promotion, as the 4ths are in the division above. With the Inter Cup finnal being in Rathmines on August 7th, the 5ths have a golden opportunity to play in a Rathmines final, opening the cup at home to North County 4ths, a Division 9 side.
