The foundation of victory was laid by a brilliant 90 by Bready’s wicket-keeper batsman Andrew Austin that included three ‘sixes’ and nine ‘fours’. Michael Rankin weighed in with 50 in Foyle’s huge total of 225 for 5 in their 30 overs. It was always going to be too much for the Belfast school who fell well short at 159 for 7 with Roger Long bagging three for 32 for Foyle.
