Clontarf made it three wins out of three to top the table with a high scoring win at Castle Avenue against Rush.

Irish international Andrew Poynter raced to 109* from just 76 balls (11 fours, 2 sixes) as Clontarf piled up 322 for 4.

Robert Forrest (77), Alex Cusack (60) and Bill Coghlan (48) all enjoyed the weak Rush attack, with only Alan Butterly (2-28) escaping the Clontarf carnage.

In reply Rush skipper Lynal Jansen was the only player to offer a semblance of resistance as he crashed 100 out of 136 for 7 when his wicket fell (17 fours, 1 six).

The other ten managed just 43 between them, and that was thanks to double figure contributions from the last pair of Doheny (10) and Burke (11*).

Paul Ryan (4-37), Zander van der Merwe (2-27), and Andrew Poynter (2-36) did the damage for Clontarf.

Fintan McAllister was another centurion as he made 116 (17 fours, 131 balls) as Malahide piled up 296 for 5 against Merrion second XI.

In reply Merrion struggled to 130 with only Kade Beasley (53) making a fist of it.

Ryan Gallagher completed a fine display by taking 6 for 23.

Terenure kept the pressure on Clontarf when they did well to chase down a potentially tricky target of 231 at College park.

Richard Forrest had scored 108 in the students total of 231 for 5, but was eclipsed by a Terenure opening stand of 191.

Tom Fisher (111*) and Dan Van Zyl (94) setting Terenure on their way to a seven wicket win.
