First into action on the day were the hurlers...and they gave it welly before succumbing to injury and the greater firepower of the Dubai team...
...however this was soon forgotten in the light of the historic first victory of a marvellous ladies team over Dubai. Playing with great determination theladies ran out as clear winners...and sparked mighty celebrations in the camp
