A superb bowling performance by international Paul McCrum, which included a hat trick in a seven wicket haul, coupled with a measured unbeaten 94 runs (3 sixes and 11 fours) by South African Rudi Bryson powered Muckamore to an easy 117 runs victory over Malahide in the first round of the Royal Liver Irish Senior Cup at Malahide yesterday.

Facing a target of 199 the Malahide batting collapsed against the pace and accuracy of McCrum, who at one stage took five wickets in seven deliveries and finished with seven for 37 in 10 overs.
