CRICKET WORLD CUP QUALIFER
Ireland kept alive
their hopes of reaching the T20 World Cup as they earned a dominant
eight-wicket win over Jersey in the Qualifier in Abu Dhabi.
Mark Adair (3-10) was the pick of the bowlers, dismissing
Harrison Carlyon and Jonty Jenner for ducks, as Jersey could only post 105 in
their 20 overs.
Fellow seamer David Delany took 2-12 as Ben Stevens top
scored with 25.
Paul Stirling's unbeaten 58 and Andrew Balbirnie's 33 helped
the Irish easily reach their target in 14 overs.

MY
OPINION
I think this win keeps Irelands
play off dream alive and they know a comfortable win against Nigeria should be
enough to do the damage but I do think that this team has shown the performance
that they are ready for task and the tasks yet to come this will not end on Sunday
now hopefully
