Review
On a nice sunny day in Castleknock College, a very healthy number of 14 teams competed for the prizes this year. We were drawn in a group of 4, Galway Tribes, Castleknock Bearcats, 2Pak and Templebar Hippeditys. A slow start in the morning against 2 strong teams. Going down easily enough to both 2Pak (the eventual Cup winners) and Bearcats. This meant after lunch we had a must win game against Hippeditys, both teams lost openers so only the winners would likely have any further part to play in proceedings. Despite a nervous last few innings we managed to win this comfortably in the end.

This meant we progressed to Bowl semi final against Castleknock Wildcats. In a closely fought game with runs hard to come by we eventually came out winners by a single run, setting up final against the Renegades, a repeat of the IOST plate final which we won last year. This time, the Renegades got there revenge in another low scoring game, prevailing by 2 runs, well done to them and all the other winners at the weekend.
