blocks the ball down into the ground. They run through for a single and the Reds Win!
Reds vs Knights, 12th Match at Belfast, INTER PRO, Jun 30 2021 - Match Result
The Knights fall just short of chasing down the Reds huge total. Finishing on 300 for 8 off their fifty overs. Georgeson scored a brilliant century, but didn't have the support at the end as the runrate kept going upwards.
Atb the half-way point the Knights looked in charge of the chase, yet the lose of Tector meant that the innings lost momentum just when it needed to go the other way. Luke Georgeson created his own history, the first Northern Knight to score a century.
For the Munster Reds, both Manley and Cawley ended up with three wickets, to help the Reds to their first ever IP50 win. You can tell that they are delighted with that. Murray Commins has just been named player of the match for his Century.
The Reds pick up four points for the victory to end the year on 8 points and tied with their opponents today. They finish bottom due to runrate, not that they will care as they celebrate this win into the night.
That brings to the end the IP50 competition this year, we haven't even got into July yet! The interpros now go on the back burner for the next couple of months.
With plenty of International games scheduled over the next couple of months, the Interpro's aren't scheduled to return until the middle of September.
I hope that you have enjoyed our coverage over the past 9 weeks, and I certainly hope that you follow along when the competition starts off again.
