All Ireland Girls Cups
Under 17 Final: Bready lost to Clontarf by 49 runs.
Magheramason, 18 August.
Clontarf 144-5 (20 overs: G Morrissey 66*, J McNally 33; J Spence 4-28)
Bready 95 (18.5 overs: H Lee 3-12, A O'Reilly 2-10, K O'Toole 2-14, A Synott 2-18)
Winners Clontarf (CricketEurope)
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.

Aoibheann Synnott took three wickets as Clontarf beat Lisburn (CricketEurope)
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.

Winners County Galway (Cricket Ireland)
County Galway won the National Cup at Bready on Sunday, beating County Kerry by 55 runs in a hard-fought 40-overs contest between the first two sides to represent Connaught and Munster in a major final. Both teams were indebted to their lower order batting on a glorious day in Co Tyrone, with Sukphal Singh shepherding the Galway tail from 135-7 to 218 all out. Singh struck three sixes and six fours, and his Player-of-the-Match-winning 63 from 58 balls looked to have set up up a big win as Kerry slumped to 95-9. Enter Kashif Mehmood. The No11 smashed three sixes as he raced to 52 from 27 balls with an awesome display of big hitting. Kashif added 68 from 8.2 overs with Yaqoob Ali but the delivery after striking his seventh four he lost his leg stump and the Galway celebrations began.
