Lisburn came back from the dead to beat Templepatrick with a last-ball boundary to win the NCU Under-17 Cup at Templepatrick.

Chasing 115 for victory, Lisburn slumped to 35 for 6 in 12 overs as Jack Smyth (4-8) and two for Connor Courtney looked to have sealed the Wallace Park side's fate.

However, Harry Walker thumped 6 fours and a six in a 25-ball 44, adding 77 in 8 overs with Jamie Spence.

Walker fell with three needed from three balls, and the tension ramped up further when after number 9 Matthew Gray got a single from the fourth, the fifth was a dot ball, leaving two required from the last.

Jamie Spence (32*) was the hero of the hour as he dispatched the ball through the covers for his fifth boundary to clinch the three-wicket win.

Earlier, Ben Huxley and Seth Scarlett had made unbeaten 29's as Templepatrick had also recovered from a slow start - 12 for 3 - to make 114 for 5.

It was nearly enough, but not quite on a night of high drama.

Lisburn now have the chance to add to their growing collection of All-Ireland Youth titles when they represent the NCU in the finals in Dublin next Friday.
