Ireland's cricketers qualify for world Twenty20

All-rounder Kevin O’Brien steered Ireland to another victory as they booked their place at next year’s World Twenty20 in England with a four-wicket win over Kenya.

With the victor guaranteed a place at the 2009 showpiece, the 24-year-old again held his nerve, smashing an unbeaten 17 just hours after bowling Ireland to victory against Bermuda.
