6.00pm We have now officially hit the last hour, and the two Captain's have shook hands, the match is over and it's a draw. With so much time lost over the last couple of days, it was always hard to see a winner from the match, although it was great to see how much play that we got today. Stirling hit an excellent 90 and spent a good chunk of time out in the middle. McBrine ended up unbeaten on 67. McCarthy ended up with three wickets for the Raiders, with plenty of overs for their spin twins. Lorcan Tucker has just been named the player of the match for his brilliant Century on Monday, which seems a long time ago now. The first game between the Raiders and the Strikers is done, it was great to be able to see first class domestic cricket again in Ireland. Hope that you enjoyed it. Thanks for staying with us, and this is Justin saying goodbye from Malahide.
