Bready climbed to fourth in the table with an impressive 74-run victory over Coleraine, inspired by two of their major close-season signings.

The Magheramason side posted a formidable 265 for 9 thanks to a superb partnership between Kenzie Hall and Josh van Heerden. 

Hall, beginning to find his stride since arriving from Killyclooney, produced a magnificent 141 from 140 deliveries, striking 15 fours and four sixes. 

He shared a match-defining stand of 199 with Van Heerden, whose fluent 87 from 93 balls included five fours and three sixes. Scott Campbell (4-54) and Louren Steenkamp (3-42) claimed wickets but could not stem the flow of runs.

Coleraine's reply never recovered after Nathan McCombe dismissed Steenkamp first ball. 

Campbell (35), Jacob Logan-Wilson (35), David Cooke (34 not out) and Matty Smyth (28) battled hard, but another new recruit, Charlie Downey, underlined his quality with an outstanding 4 for 32 as the Bannsiders were dismissed for 191.

Strabane's Premiership clash with Newbuildings fell victim to the weather after the home side had reached 106 for 2 in 23.1 overs. 

Rhys Logue top-scored with 38, while Conor Graham added 33 as Strabane made a steady start before persistent rain forced the abandonment of the contest.

Brigade's encounter at bottom side St Johnston was abandoned by rain with the visitors on 78 for 2 after 29 overs. 

Gavin Roulston anchored the innings with an unbeaten 32 as a torrential downpour of biblical proportions brought an early end to proceedings, forcing a replay.
