They get the chance to do so against the only other remaining winless team in the competition, Centennials Bulls.
Both clubs are hoping to lift their bowling game, and the result at The Scots School is likely going to come down to who can keep the run rate down.
Pat’s captain Adam Ryan said the majority of his team’s innings have looked sturdy, but it’s the small moments of poor decision making which have proved the difference.
“We haven’t been far away so hopefully this is the week we get the win. The boys have been putting in the effort and the execution keeps improving,” he said.

“We need that discipline with the ball. We have moments where we’re bowling four good balls in an over then putting in a few loose ones that take away the pressure.
“Our batting so far has been good. We’ve been batting out our overs although we have been a bit slow in scoring.
“That’s just me being picky though. We’re just looking for one of those games where all those things can go our way.”
At this stage last season St Pat’s had won all three of their matches.
Bulls were in a similar position, boasting two wins from three games.
