6th Team Introduction
Formed in 1993 under the leadership of Allen Smith, the first promotion was achieved in 1994. The 6ths were runners up in Junior B in 1997, earning promotion again. 1999 saw yet another promotion, seeing them experiencing the heady heights of Inter B. Relegation inevitably followed in 2000, before that exalted spot in Inter B was regained in 2004. A 2nd place in Inter B in 2006 was the highest league spot so far. That 2003 promotion was enhanced with a Paul Delany Junior Cup win.

Renno's Review 2007
League - On July 14th, the team were floundering with a record of Played 4, Won 1 (which in itself is an endictment of the season!), but as with several other of the sides, the back end of the season was a bit more successful. Of the last six games, only one was lost to give another secure finish in Inter B. -
Cup - Casserly's men punched above their weight in the same cup that the 5ths play in. Wins over Wexford and Merrion set up a semi showdown with Sandyford, which proved to be a step too far. -
Review - It needs to be remembered that the 6ths are playing at their highest ever level - (and they would have been promoted last year were it not for the ineptitude of the 2nds). It wasn't the most settled of squads, with 35 players playing in total, but plenty made contribtuions of note. Sharma, Dunne, Casserly, Nagar, and Dixit all scored over 100 runs, (and 11 players had a top score of 30 and over). At the other end of the table, remarkably 13 players averaged 5 or less with the bat. Singh, Dixit and Sharma shared the bulk of the bowling duties. All in all a pretty good season, although probabkly too much reliance on "those two little pals of mine", Dixit and Sharma.'
