The South Dublin side dating back to 1904, with the odd senior tourist dating back a little too, albeit not so far back, enjoyed a one nil series win on their weekend visit to Bonalba. A deluge of rain during the second match resulted in the rare event, for us here on the Costa Blanca, of the match being abandoned; this after one innings and just one over of the Terenure innings. So, after their success in the first match the ‘Terenurée’ team, as they have become to be known while on tour, returned to Ireland as undefeated series winners. Match stats herewith:

Saturday 13 October 2018
Great start to tour for Terenure CC as they record a close ´run´ victory by eight!
Terenure CC 146 for 7 off 30 overs
(B. Allan 55, S. Nair 23; Husnain 6-1-34-2, T. Richards 7-0-41-2)
Intellectuals CC 138 for 8 off 28 overs
(T. Richards 46, Zia 30; Garnini 5-0-21-2, P. Rout 5-0-24-2)

Special mention is made of Ghita who became the first Romanian to play cricket for the Intellectuals … and of Devrae who became the first international capped Bermudan footballer to play cricket against the Intellectuals.
