Lisburn left flying the flag for NCU in Irish Senior Cup semi-finals
Ross Adair and Neil Whitworth were the Lisburn heroes in a tense contest at the five-times winners. Chasing 229, Adair raced out of the traps as he thumped 10 fours and six sixes in a 48-ball 85, completely dominating an opening stand of 113 in 13 overs that had Lisburn almost half way to their target. Alan Mathew's three wickets and two for Johan George had Lisburn nerves jangling at 198 for seven but, crucially for them, skipper Whitworth was still there. His cool head saw the Wallace Park side over the finishing line, making a vital unbeaten 52 (four fours, two sixes). 2022 winners CIYMS could only manage 167 at Malahide, with overseas professional Herman Rolfes top-scoring with 58 (eight fours) and Carson McCullough making 42. James Newland was the destroyer-in-chief, taking six wickets. A fourth wicket stand of 67 between Jeremy Martins (40) and Cormac McLoughlin-Gavin (28) put Malahide on top and, despite two wickets apiece for John Matchett and Carson McCullough, the Dubliners squeezed home by three wickets. Balbriggan ended Donemana's dreams with a six-wicket win at Jack Harper Park. The North West side were dealt two blows beforehand with William McClintock and David O'Sullivan both ruled out. Anuj Jotin was again in the runs as he top-scored with 61 in a Donemana total of 220 for nine, with Jamie Huey (33) and Andy McBrine (21) also in the runs. Jordan and Matthew Hollard shared a combined five wickets. The reply was a cagey one initially with Donemana taking early wickets, but Cameron Rowe and Chris De Freitas shared a match-defining fourth wicket stand of 99 in 18 overs to put the hosts firmly in control. Rowe hit nine fours and three maximums in a top-score of 78, while De Freitas (71 not out) added a further 65 for the fifth wicket with Farooq Nasr (37) as Balbriggan eased to victory in the 44th over. Favourites Pembroke were beaten at Clontarf, for whom Seamus Lynch scored a century and Cillian McDonnell claimed a hat-trick. Carrickfergus won a real nail-biter in the National Cup, holding their nerve to clinch a one-run win at Adamstown. Atish Varape hit an unbeaten 112 adding 159 with Prince Sharma (45) in their total of 234 for three. They needed them all as Richard Hood kept his cool in a tense final over that went down to the last ball. Ballyspallen are in the hat after a seven-wicket win at Terenure. South African Test player Eddie Moore showed his quality as he made 142 from just 97 balls (13 fours, 10 sixes) to make light work of a 242 target. Moore shared a third wicket stand of 187 with Graham Kennedy (61 not out), with the Ireland A international earlier having claimed four wickets in the Terenure innings. Glendermott made the long trek to Kerry but lost by 56 runs, despite five wickets for Ben Mills and 41 from skipper Alan Johnson. Meanwhile, in the NCU Women's Premiership, North Down shocked leaders Holywood, beating them by five runs. Rebecca Webster hit an unbeaten 58 for the Comber side, while four wickets for Gracie Keenan sealed the victory. Waringstown are the new leaders after a 56-run win at home to CSNI. Charlotte Lyons made 54 and Abigale Gerken an unbeaten 31 in a total of 151 for three. Naomi Matthews then took four wickets to seal the win. In the North West, Strabane beat Bonds Glen to win the Sperrin Springs Cup. Mark McNulty's unbeaten 25 and three wickets for Andrew Mullen were the highlights of the 38-run win for the Tyrone side.

Bready defeat defending champions to go top of North West Premiership
The Irish international dominated a third wicket stand of 51 with Jodie Spence as Bready romped to their modest 82 target in the 12th over. Fox Lodge had struggled to get going as they limped to 81 for eight – helped by 31 extras - with Elle Moore and Mollie Devine both making 18. Jodie Spence and Sophie Hamilton each took two wickets in a fine effort by the bowling unit that never relinquished control of the game. Bonds Glen beat Strabane in a high scoring game that saw Jessica Cooke (40) and Stephanie Wilkinson (38 not out) in the runs for the home side as they made 167 for seven – Nicola Mullen taking three wickets. Strabane started the chase well as Kylie McGarrigle hit eight fours in a 31-ball 43, putting on 68 for the first wicket with skipper Chloe Deans, who hit an unbeaten 40. Two wickets apiece for Leah and Lucy Thompson clinched a 21-run win for the Bee Gees. Coleraine ran out comfortable 66-run winners at home to Eglinton thanks primarily to a third wicket partnership of 119 between Amy Caulfield and Kenya McCartney (37). Caulfield top-scored with 80 from 58 deliveries, including 12 fours and two maximums as the Bannsiders made 147 for five. Anna McGurk's three for five and two wickets for McCartney restricted Eglinton to just 81 for seven to keep Coleraine third in the table.
