Strabane produced the shock result of the season as they stunned fancied Donemana by 34 runs in a dramatic DLS success that sent the Red Caps soaring to the top of the table alongside fellow Tyrone side Fox Lodge. 

The hosts were dismissed for just 137 in 42 overs, but the total proved more than enough on a difficult surface. 

Young Zimbabwean leg-spinner Luke Marrillier was the chief destroyer for Donemana, ripping through the innings with outstanding figures of 5-29. 

Despite regular wickets, Strabane dug in through Allen Patterson, whose resilient unbeaten 31 anchored the innings, while overseas professional Muhammad Mohsin contributed 24 valuable runs in the middle order. 

Awais Zafar chipped in with 2-22 to keep the pressure on the home side. 

Donemana would have expected to chase the modest target comfortably, but Strabane’s bowlers produced a sensational display full of discipline and intensity. 

The visitors never settled as wickets tumbled steadily throughout the reply. 

Vadivel Moorthy was the star with the ball, claiming a magnificent 5-32, while Mohsin completed a superb all-round performance by taking 4-14 to rip the heart out of the Donemana batting line-up. 

Only Zafar, with 23, offered meaningful resistance as Donemana were bowled out for 101 in 34.3 overs, sealing a famous Strabane victory.

Fox Lodge made it two wins from two with a comfortable seven-wicket victory over Coleraine at Ballymagorry after Levi Kerr’s five-wicket haul set up the chase. 

Coleraine’s innings never recovered from the nightmare start of losing professional Louren Steenkamp first ball to teenager Swarnim Jha. The South African had struck an unbeaten century on Saturday, but cricket proved a great leveller as he departed for a golden duck. 

Experienced campaigner David Cooke battled hard for 35, while Patrick Carson added 23 and Jacob Logan-Wilson chipped in with 22, but Fox Lodge kept taking wickets at regular intervals. 

Kerr was the standout performer with superb figures of 5-41, while Aaron Heywood claimed 2-10 and Swarnim Jha picked up 2-30 as Coleraine were dismissed for 121 in 30.5 overs. 

Fox Lodge suffered a couple of early setbacks in reply with Ali Doherty and Charlie Simpson falling cheaply, but there was never any real alarm thanks to an excellent third-wicket stand of 75 between Gayan Maneeshan and Jason Milligan. 

Maneeshan dominated the scoring with a fluent 54 from just 42 balls, striking 10 fours and a six, while Milligan finished unbeaten on 37 with five fours and a maximum. Brian Allen added a run-a-ball 16 not out as Fox Lodge eased to 122-3 in 18.4 overs.
