Two of the Ireland team that beat England yesterday played for Trinity at some point, so depending on when you were there you may have seen some international players in action.

It's a wonderful sport when you wrap your head around it. This video is a good guide for people familiar with baseball:

Very well deserved win for Ireland, even if they did get some help from the rain at the end. Balbirnie and Tucker batted beautifully, although the lower order collapse looked to have thrown away all that good work.

Then an excellent bowling performance. England just could not get the Irish bowlers away and got completely bogged down. That Fionn Hand wicket was a thing of beauty.
