Off-spinners Kyle McCallan and Andrew White bowled Ireland to victory in the final of the 2005 ICC Intercontinental Cup in Windhoek, Namibia on Saturday.

Ireland beat Kenya by six wickets after tea on the last day of the three-day match after being set 245 to win.

The final was the culmination of a first-class competition involving 12 non-Test playing countries that started in April and featured 15 matches.

McCallan took four for 34 and White claimed three for 24 in the Kenyan second innings of 156 to turn the tide in a match that the Africans had controlled for the first two days.
