Instonians' Anna Ellerby takes five wickets to help Ireland defeat the Netherlands
The Instonians left-arm seamer had the excellent figures of 5 for 14, while CSNI's Emily Carville took three wickets as the Dutch were dismissed for 83 – Manouk Bruijn top-scoring with 28. Ireland's batters were soon in trouble in the chase, slumping to 24 for six with Mia Van Egdom taking three wickets. They were rescued though thanks to an unbroken seventh wicket partnership of 60 between Merrion's Aisling Lawlor, who made an unbeaten 28, and Clontarf's Genevieve Morrissey who scored 25 not out in the four-wicket win. Earlier, Ireland had won the morning game by 33 runs in another low scoring contest. Irish senior international Alice Tector top-scored with 24, and Bready's Millie Spence hit three boundaries in a quickfire unbeaten 21 as the Girls In Green made 118 for 8. CSNI opening bowler Vanessa Minford took three wickets in the Dutch reply as they were bowled out for 85 – skipper Lara Leemhuis making 20. There were also wickets for Erin Bond, Emily Carville, Anna Ellerby, and Millie Spence in a fine bowling effort. Ireland are back in action when they play Scotland on Tuesday afternoon, whom they also meet on Thursday morning.
