Ireland draw series with West Indies 1-1 with Liam making his debut

Railway's Liam McCarthy made his Irish debut this weekend against the West Indies. After being part of the team that won the opening match, he then followed it up in match 2 by taking his first international wickets finishing with 3-66 after accounting for Windies captain Shai Hope, centurion Keacy Carty and then Matthew Forde.
Unfortunately weather was the ultimate winner in match 2 with no result possibly. In match 3 the resurgent visitors posted a formidable total that Ireland were unable to ever challenge and West Indies levelled the series 1-1.
Railway did have involvement in the West Indies team with irish cricketing legend and Railway Union's Kevin O'Brien part of the WI coaching set up for their Irish matches.
