Comments

The Munstermen never recovered from the early loss of their main man, Bruce Koch, to injury. Only Ross Durity can be happy with his batting, and only George Barry and Sidarth Joshi with their bowling. Keith Banks came out of retirement to open the bowling in place of Koch, and did a reasonable job. But in the end they avoided relegation comfortably enough, and must hope that with Koch back in harness, Chris Banon, Darren Fogarty, Shannon Madden and Robert Duggan can score the runs they are quite capable of. The bowling still looks a little threadbare.
