Cricket: Young shines in Ireland win
North West Warriors’ Craig Young played his part in Ireland’s Intercontinental Cup win over United Arab Emirates, this morning.
The Bready bowler secured seven wickets in the innings and 26 run victory for John Bracewell’s men, at Malahide.
However Ed Joyce, who broke Eoin Morgan’s record for the highest innings score by an Irish player as he hit 231 in the game, deservedly picked up the man of the match award.
