England beat Ireland by 108 runs
Loughborough University, 16 September.
England 298/8 (50 overs; James Isbell 77, Ben Mayes 66, Ekansh Singh 35, Alex Wade 31, Samarjeet Singh 21*; Ollie Riley 3-63, Dan Murray 2-49, Jordan Neill 2-57)
Ireland 190 (36.1 overs; Jordan Neill 43, Adam Leckey 27, Dan Murray 27, Freddie Ogilby 24, Ollie Riley 24; Joe Heywood 4-36, Haider Husain 4-41, Alex Wade 2-29)

England Under 19s once again proved too strong for their Irish counterparts as they recorded a convincing 108-run win in their second Youth ODI at Loughborough. 

Ireland were once again with the injured duo of Gavin Roulston and Reuben Wilson, but made a decent start as they reduced the hosts to 54 for 3 - Olly Riley (3-63) taking two of them. 

Kent's Ben Mayes made 66, but when he and Seth Essenheigh fell in quick succession the game was evenly poised at 136 for 5. A 6th wicket stand of 83 between Middlesex's James Isbell (77) and Ekansh Singh (35) swung the momentum back and runs down the order from Alex Wade (31) and Samarjeet Singh (21*) allowed England up to 298 for 8. 

The chase started badly with Joe Heywood (4-36) removing Brian Dunphy and Macdara Cosgrave cheaply, Skipper Jordan Neill counterattacked hitting 7 fours and a six in a third wicket stand of 67 with Freddie Ogilby (24). 

However 89 for 2 became 89 for 5 and thereafter it was all about respectability. 

Adam Leckey and Dan Murray both made 27, while Ollie Riley chipped in with 24 in a total of 190. 

Ireland play their fourth and final match on Tuesday against the Scotland Academy.
