[Gaurav_7]

Wow, amazing match and worthy of a semi final and very well presented. It is so saddening to lose after reaching this far and after being so close to winning the match when Poynter was going nuts. He deserved that century. Murtagh turned it around for us earlier but, then I thought we gave away far too many runs afterwards. We lost the match because we didn't play good cricket during the end of both the innings. Anyways, Clontarf deserved the win and good luck to them for the finale. I have never had so much attachment to any team before but, this league and Malahide are special. Wonderfully managed, VC. KIU. Thanks to the manager who picked such a wonderful squad. I'd like to stay if there's another season and no redraft.

EDIT: I hate you George Dockrell!!! What a gun bowler!
