Cricket: Sabeer shines for Dundalk III's in home win

The Argus Dundalk Thirds lifted themselves off the foot of the Division 20 table with a comprehensive home victory over Terenure Fifths on Saturday last. Having been put into bat by a youthful Terenure side, Dundalk found themselves five wickets down for only 50 runs shortly after drinks, but a brilliant sixth-wicket partnership from captain Sumit Kumar and all-rounder Sabeer Palliyali saw the home side recover to post 209 all out. Their 89-run stand is the highest by any Dundalk batting pair across all three teams this summer. The Thirds proceeded to comfortably defend their target with six overs to spare. Division 20 Dundalk III: 209 (39.2 ov) Sabeer 76, Wormley 4-14 Terenure V: 106 (34 ov) Obaid 26, Sumit 2-7 Dundalk III won by 103 runs First's chase falls short In the Sunday fixture, Dundalk's first team travelled to sunny St Catherine's Park to face Lucan Seconds in Division 10. A rapid outfield and short boundaries worked against the town at first, the home side amassing an impressive 270 in the first innings (four Lucan batters posted scores in the 40s or higher). Left-arm orthodox spinner Muhammad Tayyab achieved the best weekend bowling figures for Dundalk of 4-45 in his eight overs. In the chase, first team captain Syed Adnan gave Dundalk a decent chance of a late comeback after four wickets fell early, however his largely entertaining 77 off 69 balls wasn't enough to secure a first league win of the season.
