Ireland's women cricketers crushed Holland by nine wickets at Nykobing in Denmark yesterday and now face England A today in what is to all intents and purposes is the final of the European Cup.
Batting first, Holland were skittled for only 69 runs, with Ciara Medcalf (3 for 12 off six overs) and Isobel Joyce (3 for 15 off 10 overs) doing the major damage. Openers Clare O'Leary, who scored an undefeated 32, and Caitriona Beggs with 21 set the scene for a comprehensive Irish victory.
