Ireland lose twice to South Africa

Skipper Isobel Joyce took 3 for 16 and teenager Kim Garth 2 for 33 to help Ireland restrict South Africa to what looked a modest 127 for 5 in their first encounter.

However the Irish batting failed as they slumped to 71 all out to lose by 56 runs. Isobel Joyce (18) and twin sister Cecelia (17) were the only batters to make any impression.
