Graham Hume's return helps reignite Waringstown's League title challenge against Instonians
The Irish international has been suffering with an elbow injury but was back to his best, dismissing Neil Rock, Cade Carmichael and Andrew White in his first two overs to leave the Shaw's Bridge side reeling on 13 for three. Shane Dadswell cleared the ropes three times in an enterprising 35, but two wickets apiece for Daniel van der Merwe, James Cameron-Dow and Greg Thompson saw Instonians bundled out for just 81. Sam (41) and Morgan Topping (19) knocked off 59 of those in an opening partnership to all but seal the win, with Sam top-scoring with 41 (4 fours, 1 six). Muckamore's replacement professional Madhav Kaushik hit the ground running with a match-winning half century at North Down to give the Moylena side their first points of the campaign. The Indian cleared the ropes four times and hit four fours in a 25-ball 54 to help Muckamore to 151 for seven – runs too for Jamie Magowan (25) and Jason van der Merwe (20) – while Ally Shields claimed four wickets. In a tense chase, Ryan Haire's 31 gave the Comber side a shout, but his dismissal with 22 needed off two overs proved decisive as Muckamore won by 17 runs. Templepatrick are still searching for their first win of the season after they crashed to a 70-run loss at CSNI. Marc Ellison hit six fours and two sixes in a top-score of 58 from 52 balls as the Stormont side made 156 for five, with 26 apiece for Sean Davey and Adam Leckey. Charlie Swart top-scored with 41 (five fours, one six), but received little support as they were bowled out for 86. Teenagers Harry Dyer (4-7), Finn Lutton (3-17), and Seb Yeates (2-5) doing the damage. Meanwhile, in the NW T20 Cup, the four group winners who will play in the Faughan Valley Cup Semi-Finals have been decided. Newbuildings captain Ross Hunter took five wickets, including a hat-trick as his side beat Bready, while Donemana finished unbeaten after a 20-run win over Killyclooney that saw the McClintock twins each hitting five sixes and Anuj Jotin taking four wickets. Andy Millar's half century ensured Eglinton progressed, while holders Brigade got the 11 runs they needed from the final over – boundaries for Josh Wilson and James Smallwoods breaking Coleraine hearts in a thrilling two-wicket win off the penultimate ball.

Holders Lisburn keep up hot start to T20 Cup defence after sinking Muckamore
Sam Gordon's 56 (seven fours, one six) helped the Moylena side to a modest total of 123 for seven – two wickets apiece for Josh Manley, Nigel Jones and skipper Neil Whitworth. James Hunter thumped seven boundaries in a rapid top score of 40, sharing a fourth wicket partnership of 51 in seven overs with Whitworth who made 28, as did Indian professional Faiz Fazal, as they eased to victory in the 17th over despite three wickets for Jason van der Merwe. Instonians' Neil Rock and Cade Carmichael continued their recent run-fest, helping themselves to half-centuries in a convincing 82-run win at Waringstown. Rock followed up his record-breaking score of 173 in T20 cricket with a 40-ball 84 (six fours, seven sixes) as he and Carmichael shared an opening stand of 119 approaching the halfway stage. Shane Dadswell (45) added 84 with Carmichael, whose 68 included seven fours and three maximums in a whopping score of 238 for four. Waringstown in reply were never in contention – Matthew Halliday's 30 the best of their 156 – as James Lambert, Ben Rose and Cian Robertson each claimed two wickets. Jared Wilson and Francis Collins both made half-centuries as Cliftonville Academy beat North Down by 88 runs. Wilson cleared the ropes five times in a dominant 37-ball unbeaten 65, adding 83 in 40 balls with Hayden Melly (28no). Earlier, Collins (54) and professional Abhishek Raut (42) laid the platform for their total of 201 for two with a first wicket stand of 79. North Down were without injured duo Tyron Koen (shoulder) and Craig Young (hamstring) and were dismissed for 113. Wilson took three wickets in a fine all-round effort, while there were two apiece for John Glass and captain Matthew McCord.
