OVERNIGHT, IRELAND’S CRICKETERS pulled off another incredible win as they opened their World Cup campaign with a four wicket victory over West Indies.
Nelson, in the north of New Zealand, was turned into a sea of green as the Saxton Oval was taken over by Irish fans.
The result means Ireland now need just two more wins from Pool B to progress to the quarter-finals.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man – John Mooney celebrates hitting the winning runs
George Dockrell starred with the ball and in the field
There was unconfined joy as Ireland pulled off another World Cup giant-killing
The team line-up for the national anthem before the game
The O’Brien brothers celebrate
Someone had a message for home…
And there was no shortage of green on show
Mooney and O’Brien saw the side over the line
The Saxton Oval will go down in Irish cricketing history
One of the most underrated players in the league
@Johnny Footpaths: without a doubt.
@Johnny Footpaths: heading to Barcelona in the summer better than Hazard

That palace goal should never have been disallowed, poor decision
