Dublin: Ireland have secured a comfortable seven-wicket win over Scotland in the first of three One-Day Internationals.
Scotland were 101-7 at one stage at Malahide and a half century by Michael Leask helped them get to 172 before they were all out in the 41st over.
Young Bready medium pacer Craig Moore took three wickets on his ODI debut.
Despite the early dismissal of John Anderson, Ireland passed their target for the loss of three wickets with more then 13 overs to spare.
The sides meet again on Wednesday and Friday at the same venue.
Both are preparing for the World Cup which takes places in Australia and New Zealand in February and March.
With Ireland missing captain William Porterfield and established players Ed Joyce, Niall O'Brien, Gary Wilson and Tim Murtagh due to county commitments, fringe players had the chance to impress the selectors.
In Ireland's innings, skipper Kevin O'Brien hit an unbeaten 56 off 56 balls, opener and former Under-19 captain Andrew Balbirnie scored 38 and Stuart Thompson finished on 35 not out.
The Scots got off to a disappointing start to the match as they lost Matty Cross for just nine runs after he edged Max Sorensen's delivery to wicket-keeper Stuart Poynter.
Young then made his introduction as he took Calum MacLeod (25) and Hamish Gardiner (10) in quick succession.
The Derry bowler took his third when he clean bowled Preston Mommsen (10) to leave the Scots in trouble at 62 for four.
Leask offered some resistance as he finished off a tidy 50 but when he and Safyaan Sharif (18) also fell to Young, Scotland's hopes of posting a more challenging tally were gone.
Brief scores
Scotland - 172 (Leask 50, Young 5-46)
