Victory for NUIG cricketers

NUI Galway Cricket Team has won the Indoor Cricket Championships for the second time in the last three years. The team won the Indoor Cricket Championships which were held in the Kingfisher Club on the 5th to 7th of February. NUIG hosted 11 other teams from the length and width of the country. On their way to the final, the well rounded NUIG team beat the likes of GMIT, UCD, WIT and UCC to top their group. The only blemish of the group stages was the solitary loss to University of Ulster. In the semi's NUIG overcame a strong Griffith college team boasting two Irish College players proving that NUIG's top seeding over the last four years was by no fluke.

The final was a thrilling affair where put into bat first; the home team put up a meager target of 102 all out in their allotted 15 overs against the tournament favorites DBS. NUI Galway's all round fielding effort and superb bowling bowled out the only unbeaten team- until the Finals- in the tournament for 80 runs. NUI Galway Cricket Team has now won the event twice, having been finalists in the inaugural year and having reached the semi's last year.
