Cameron Melly leads Brigade's charge to stun Newbuildings
Melly top-scored with 121 from only 51 balls, a knock that saw him clear the ropes 12 times as well as hitting eight fours as Brigade racked up 317 for six. He shared a whirlwind stand of 110 in eight overs with Mark Hanna (31) in an all-out assault on the shell-shocked home attack. There were runs throughout the order with David Barr scoring 67 (12 fours) in a second wicket partnership of 111 with Adam McDaid, who made 61. Newbuildings had chased over 300 to beat Donemana on Saturday, but there was no repeat of those heroics as they were bowled out for 190. JP Millar and Scott Macbeth each took three wickets, with the latter getting the big fish — Peat Salmon. Johnny Thompson hit four sixes in a defiant 55, but the result was never in doubt. Donemana regained the Premiership lead with an emphatic eight-wicket win in an all-Tyrone clash at Strabane . Irish international Andy McBrine took four wickets as the Red Caps were skittled out for just 72 in a game reduced to 34 overs. There were wickets, too, for returning skipper Gary McClintock (three for 11) and Sri Lankan professional Anuj Jotin (two for 18), while Raymond Curry's unbeaten 20 eased Donemana to victory in the 16th over. Eglinton remain rooted to the bottom after a four-wicket loss at in-form Bready. Andy Millar hit seven fours in an excellent half century, while younger brother Jamie made 36, and there were twenties for Ryan Lamrock, Jack Martin and Lakshan Gamage in a total of 215 for six. Bready captain Ian Young led the way in the chase with an undefeated 62 (eight fours, one six), while there was also a half century for South African professional Josh van Heerden as the hosts won with two overs to spare.

Ireland 'just fell short' against West Indies
Ireland captain Paul Stirling said that his side "just fell short" as they lost their T20 series against West Indies at West Indies won the third and final match of the series by 62 runs on Sunday after setting Ireland an unassailable 256 ensured the visitors won the series 1-0 after the first two games were abandoned due to the heavy rain, and despite his disappointment at the defeat, Stirling believes the game was a good test for Ireland against one of the world's best sides."[There are] some positives to take from it," he told BBC Sport NI."Bowling to a side like the West Indies, who are third or fourth in the world and have the most power of any team in international cricket, and to come up against them on a small enough pitch, they certainly showed what they were capable of, and the score was a tough one to chase." 'We've got a lot to work on' Ireland managed a respectable 194-7 in their innings and Stirling, who was dismissed after 13 runs in the second over, was pleased with their effort."The message was to go out and give it your all and we just fell short, but there were periods of the game where we feel we were up to the standard and the West Indies score, but it kept going up towards the end," he reserved praise for Matthew Humphreys, who took the wickets of Rovman Powell and Evin Lewis in the 12th over."That is one of the best spells of T20 international bowling I've witnessed from us," Stirling continued."The context too, he bowled a left hander at all stages and had short boundaries so to come out with 16 runs and two wickets is a real positive, he has really taken that new bowl in his stride and we're really happy with how he is trucking."Ireland are not in action again until September, when they face England in a three-day T20 series in is hoping that Ireland can use the intervening three-month period to work on areas they need to improve."We've got a lot to work on, we have domestic cricket coming up in the next weeks and the gap after that will be the tricky part, we have to come into September in better preparation than we are at already."
