Ireland win Women's European Cup
CricInfo - 15 August 2001

Ireland won the European Cup for women on Sunday, inflicting the first defeat on an England side in the twelve-year history of the tournament.

Ireland secured victory when they sensationally defeated the England Under- 19 team by 59 runs on Sunday, dismissing them for just 60. Saibh Young was the star for Ireland taking a hat-trick.

England Under-19 finished as runners-up in the three-day tournament, held at Bradfield College, Reading, with the Netherlands finishing in third place.

Scotland, making their first appearance in an international tournament, started shakily when dismissed for 24 by the English on Friday, but improved as the series progressed even though they failed to win a game.
