Half centuries for Jordan Hollard and Jeremy Martins led the Ireland Academy to a convincing 111-run win over the Emerging Warriors at Bready.

The young Irish side were in trouble at 11 for 3 with wickets for Trent McKeegan and Josh Wilson.

Martins hit 7 fours in an impressive 76, starting the recovery with Srihan Karpe (26). Jordan Hollard clubbed 5 sixes and 4 fours in a hard-hit 77, while Abid Taniwal bludgeoned a 13-ball 30 in a total of 279.

Harry Zimmermann picked up 4 for 53 in a bit of a curate's egg fielding and bowling effort by the Warriors.

Ireland Academy opened with the spin of Hollard and he and Nasir Totakhil found prodigious turn to take four wickets apiece.

Scott Macbeth (40) and Cameron Melly (26) took the total to 68 for 2, but once the spinners got to work they had faltered to 111 for 9.

Hayden Melly (35*) and Sam Kincaid (24) took the bad look off the margin of the defeat with a last wicket stand of 57, but the difference between the sides was still a considerable one.

There are two matches on Wednesday with the Warriors hosting Lightning Bolts, while the Emerging Knights and Academy meet at The Lawn.
