Group B: Glendermott lost to Bonds Glen by 7 wickets
The Rectory, 28 April.
Glendermott 112 (19.4 overs; Manav Chhabra 33, Alan Johnson 29; Divan Posthumus 2-11, Pushpender Singh 2-17, Davy Robinson 2-32)
Bonds Glen 83/3 (11.4 overs; Heinrich Roberts 28*, Pushpender Singh 23*) (Target 79 in 13 overs)
David Cooke drives (Lawrence Moore)
Bonds Glen travelled to Bonds Street and came away with the points as they beat Glendermott by seven wickets (DLS) in a rain-affected contest. The home side had made 112 with Manav Chabbra's 33 (2 fours, 2 sixes) and Alan Johnson's 29 their best efforts. For the Bee Gees there were two wickets apiece for professional Divan Posthumus, Pushpender Singh, and Davy Robinson. Set a revised 79 in 13 overs the Bee Gees got their with eight balls left - runs for Heinrich Roberts (28*) and Pushpender Singh (23*).
Group B: Glendermott beat Coleraine by 3 wickets
The Rectory, 28 April.
Coleraine 160/5 (20 overs; Marcus Poskitt 56, Craig Averill 42, Rory Knox 22*; Ben Mills 3-22)
Glendermott 157/7 (19 overs; Ben Mills 73, Todd Killen 52; Matty Smyth 2-5, James Bell 2-23) (Target 155 in 19 overs)
Man of the Match Ben Mills (CricketEurope)
Game of the day came at The Rectory where the home side stumbled over the line to beat Coleraine thanks to skipper Alan Johnson's last-ball heroics. Chasing 155 in 19 overs, half centuries from Ben Mills (73; 43balls, 4 fours, 7 sixes) and Todd Killen (52) had them going into the final over at 152 for 4, needing just three more. However, two wickets for Bannsiders skipper Matty Smyth and a run out, saw two still needed from the final delivery. Johnson though held his nerve as he found the boundary much to the delight of the home support. Earlier, Coleraine's opening pair of Marcus Poskitt (56) and Craig Averill (42) set the foundations for their total of 160 for 5 in a stand of 73. Rory Knox thumped two sixes into Cliftonville Avenue in an entertaining cameo of 22* in 12 balls, but all in vain as the home side prevailed in a thriller.
Group C: Burndennett lost to Eglinton by 7 wickets
Burndennett, 28 April.
Burndennett 119/6 (20 overs; Mark Pollock 41, Derek Curry 22; Lahiru Dilshan 2-20)
Eglinton 121/3 (18.3 overs; Jamie Millar 53, Robbie Millar 43; Derek Curry 2-11)
Jamie Millar (CricketEurope)
Brothers Jamie and Robbie Millar shared a second wicket stand of 88 in 13 overs as Eglinton eased past Burndennett, chasing 120 to win by 7 wickets with nine balls to spare. Jamie's 53 from 49 balls included 4 fours and 2 sixes, while Robbie's 43 saw him stroke five fours and one huge six over long-off. Derek Curry bowled tightly to claim 2-11. 'Fraggle' had also made 22, while opener Mark Pollock top-scored with a run-a-ball 41 in their 119 for 6 - two wickets for Lahiru Dilshan.
Group C: Strabane lost to Ardmore by 62 runs
Strabane Park, 28 April.
Ardmore 184/5 (20 overs; Rachit Gaur 107, Dharm Singh 31, Harry Zimmermann 30; Ryan Gallagher 2-29)
Strabane 122/8 (20 overs; Conor Graham 51*; Bobby Brolly 4-19, Edrees 3-33)
Minute silence for Mary Gillespie (CricketEurope)
Ardmore captain Rachit Gaur's 107 was the catalyst for his side's 62-run win against Strabane in the Park. Rachit hit 5 fours and 7 sixes in his 62-ball innings, sharing stands of 84 for the first wicket with Dharm Singh (31) and 94 for the second with Harry Zimmermann (30) as the Derry side made 184-5 - two wickets for Ryan Gallagher (2-29). The Red Caps were always struggling as Bobby Brolly (4-19) continued on the early wickets for Edrees (3-33). Conor Graham unbeaten 51 from 37 balls that included five sixes ensured respectability as they ended on 122 for 8.
Group C: Burndennett lost to Ardmore by 10 wickets
Burndennett, 28 April.
Burndennett 62 (19.4 overs; Aneesh Anilkumar 3-3, Dharm Singh 3-12, Edrees 2-14)
Ardmore 67/0 (6.4 overs; Rachit Gaur 32*, Ryan Brolly 31*)
Ardmore won both their games convincingly (CricketEurope)
Ardmore made short work of Burndennett as they romped to a 10-wicket win. The Tyrone side were skittled for just 62 with three wickets apiece for Aneesh Anilkumar and Dharm Singh, as well as two wickets for Edrees. With showers in the air, Ardmore knocked off their modest target in just 6.4 overs, as skipper Rachit Gaur (32*) was in the runs once again, as well as Ryan Brolly (31*).
Group C: Strabane lost to Eglinton by 31 runs
Strabane Park, 28 April.
Eglinton 169/3 (20 overs; Liam Doherty 63, Jamie Millar 63)
Strabane 68/7 (10 overs; Ryan Gallagher 20; Liam Doherty 2-17) (Target 100 in 10 overs)
Strabane (CricketEurope)
Liam Doherty and Jamie Millar each made 63 as Eglinton made it back-to-back wins with a 31-run win over Strabane in a rain-affected contest. The pair each hit 3 fours and 5 sixes in a second wicket stand of 90 in 10 overs that took the village side to 169 for 3. That target was adjusted to 100 in 10 overs, but two wickets for Doherty (2-17) helped keep the hosts to 68 for 7.
Group D: Fox Lodge beat The Nedd by 6 wickets
Ballymagorry, 28 April.
The Nedd 102/7 (20 overs; Richard Wylie 32, Johnny Young 20*; Aaron Heywood 2-15)
Fox Lodge 105/4 (18.5 overs; Luke Hayes 30*, Jason Milligan 28*, Craig Doherty 21; Stevie Moore 2-14, Richard Wylie 2-17)
Craig Doherty (CricketEurope)
Fox Lodge were made to battle by The Nedd but collected the points thanks to a fifth wicket stand between Luke Hayes (30*) and Jason Milligan (28*). The pair had come together at 46 for 4 in the 11th over chasing 103, with two wickets taken by Stevie Moore and Richard Wylie. Any nerves were soothed by the pair's 59-run stand that saw the win achieved with seven balls left. Earlier 'Fish' top-scored with 32 and Johnny Young hit 20 not out in The Nedd's 102 for 7. Home skipper Aaron Heywood's 2 for 15 the best of the Ballymagorry attack.
Group D: Donemana beat Killyclooney by 7 wickets
The Holm, 28 April.
Killyclooney 121/6 (20 overs; Timmy Dougherty 39, Jordan Connor 20, Kenzie Hall 20; Gary McCllintock 3-13, Gary Neely 2-36)
Donemana 122/3 (12.5 overs; Rumesh Buddhika 39*, Gary McClintock 32*; Mark Gordon 2-39)
Donemana cruised to a 7-wickets win over neighbours Killyclooney at The Holm. Gary McClintock with three wickets and Gary Neely with two kept the visitors to 121 for 6 - skipper Timmy Dougherty top-scoring with 39, and 20s apiece for Jordan Connor and Kenzie Hall. Rumesh Buddhika (39*) and Gary McClintock (32*) then added an unbroken 84 in 9 overs for the fourth wicket to clinch the victory in the 13th over.
Group D: Fox Lodge beat Killyclooney by 5 runs
Ballymagorry, 28 April.
Fox Lodge 129/6 (20 overs; Jason Milligan 79*; Mark Gordon 2-24, Matthew Campbell 2-26)
Killyclooney 124/6 (20 overs; Timmy Dougherty 54, Mark Gordon 33; Gayan Maneeshan 2-31, J McIntyre 2-38)
Jason Milligan rescued Fox Lodge from a precarious 17/4 to 129 for 6, as the Ballymagorry side edged a five-runs win over Killyclooney. Milligan's unbeaten 79 took 57 balls (5 fours, 6 sixes), adding a crucial unbroken 67 for the 7th wicket with Jamie McIntyre (17*). Mark Gordon and Matthew Campbell took two wickets apiece for Killyclooney. McIntyre claimed two wickets as well as Gayan Maneeshan, but the contest was always in the balance as Timmy Dougherty's 54 (4 fours, 2 sixes) and Mark Gordon's 33 kept the board ticking. In the end it was the home side who just prevailed in a tense finale.
Group D: Donemana beat The Nedd by 231 runs
The Holm, 28 April.
Donemana 328/3 (20 overs; Raymond Curry 127*, Levi Dougherty 81, Rumesh Buddhika 59, Billy Dougherty 27*)
The Nedd 97 (13.5 overs; Jacob Logan-Wilson 24, Martin McElwee 21; Adam Britton 4-16, Rumesh Buddhika 2-26)
Donemana stole the headlines on Sunday as they racked up an Irish (and possible world) T20 record score of 328 for 3 against The Nedd at the Holm. It's been a tough introduction to senior cricket for the Ballykelly side, and there are few harder tests than the lion's den of the Tyrone side, who were merciless in their destruction of the visitors. Skipper Raymond Curry top-scored with 127 not out from 56 balls (14 fours, 7 sixes) adding 145 in 8 overs with Levi Dougherty. Six years on from hitting six sixes in an over, Dougherty looked on course to repeat the feat as he hit the first four balls of a Johnny Young over out of the ground, but couldn't quite manage it with the next two. Dougherty's 81 came from 26 balls (2 fours, 11 sixes). Earlier Rumesh Buddhika had cleared the ropes 7 times in an 18-ball 59, while Billy Dougherty's 27 not out also included three maximums. In total Donemana hit a record 30 sixes and 25 fours - none of The Ned bowlers were rushing to check their figures at the break. In reoly Jacob Logan-Wilson hit four sixes in his 24, while Martin McElwee made 21 in their 97 total. Teenager Adam Britton took four wickets, while Buddhika claimed 2 for 26 in the 231-run win.
Group A: Bready beat St Johnston by 8 wickets
Magheramason, 28 April.
St Johnston 136/7 (20 overs; Subhan Shirzad 56, Graeme McCarter 31; Jordan McCorkell 2-20, Davy Scanlon 2-21, Parth Palawat 2-22)
Bready 139/2 (18.4 overs; Parth Palawat 52*, Gavin Roulston 47, Ian Young 22*)
Bready made light work of a potentially tricky chase as they made 139/2 to win with eight balls to spare. The Saints 136/7 was based around a fine 34-ball 56 by Subhan Shirzad (3 fours, 5 sixes) and a fluent 31 from Graeme McCarter. The home side's attack shared the wickets with two apiece for Jordan McCorkell, Davy Scanlon and Parth Palawat. Gavin Roulston's 47 from 28 balls (6 fours, 3 sixes) got the chase off to a quick start, with Parth Palawat (48*) and skipper Ian Young (22*) sealing the win with an unbroken third wicket stand of 70 in 10 overs.
Group A: Bready beat Ballyspallen by 8 wickets
Magheramason, 28 April.
Ballyspallen 81/8 (20 overs; Conor Olphert 2-5, Nathan McCombe 2-6, Parth Palawat 2-17)
Bready 87/2 (9.5 overs; Parth Palawat 48*)
Bready romped to an eight-wickets win over Ballyspallen with a ruthlessly efficient display at Magheramason. Two wickets each from Conor Olphert, Nathan McCombe and Parth Palawat saw the visitors restricted to 81 for 8. Indian professional Parawat then hurried the game to its natural conclusion as he smashed 5 sixes and a four in an undefeated 48 from 27 balls - Bready passing their target before the halfway stage.
Group B: Brigade beat Coleraine by 9 wickets
Beechgrove, 28 April.
Coleraine 110 (19.5 overs; Marcus Poskitt 46; DD Barr 2-9, Ifty Hussain 2-17, Marcello Piedt 2-21, Scott Campbell 2-22)
Brigade 69/1 (8.2 overs; DD Barr 44*) (Target 68 in 12 overs)
Marcus Poskitt top- scored for Coleraine (Mervyn Robinson)
Brigade eased to a 9-wickets win over Coleraine at Beechgrove in another game affected by a heavy shower. The Bannsiders' 110 was dominated by Marcus Poskitt's 46 (5 fours, 2 sixes), with two wickets apiece for DD Barr, Ifty Hussain, Marcello Piedt, and Scott Campbell. Set a revised target of 68 in 12, DD Barr's unbeaten 44 (4 fours, 2 sixes), saw his side cruised to the win in the 9th over.
Group B: Brigade beat Bonds Glen by 6 wickets
Beechgrove, 28 April.
Bonds Glen 135/4 (20 overs; Pushpender Singh 52, Simon Killen 51; DD Barr 3-13)
Brigade 136/4 (14.1 overs; Scott Macbeth 81*, Andy Britton 24)
Scott Macbeth scored 81 not out (Mervyn Robinson)
Scott Macbeth was in the runs once again as Brigade bounced back from a tough start to beat Bonds Glen by 6 wickets. The Bee Gees openers Pushpender Singh and Simon Killen both hit 50's in an opening stand of 99, but three wickets from DD Barr stalled any hopes of a late charge and a final total of 135 for 4 looked light. Macbeth was at his destructive best as he hit 8 fours and 4 sixes in an unbeaten 81 from 47 balls, adding 64 in just five overs with skipper Andy Britton (24) as they passed the finishing line with almost six overs to spare.
Group A: Newbuildings beat St Johnston by 5 wickets
Foyleview Arena, 28 April.
St Johnston 155/7 (20 overs; Subhan Shirzad 47, Michael Rankin 26; Ross Hunter 3-7, Charlie Downey 2-25)
Newbuildings 128/5 (14 overs; Gareth McKeegan 57*, Jason Bell 24*; David Lapsley 2-21, David Barnard 2-21) (Target 126 in 15 overs)
Gareth McKeegan made his second unbeaten half century of the day as he and Jason Bell steered Newbuildings to a 5-wicket DLS win over St Johnston. Rain had stopped play with the game in the balance at 99 for 5, but Bell thumped 3 sixes on the resumption to seal the win with an over to spare. Earlier, Subhan Shirzad had clubbed 4 sixes and 2 fours in a 26-ball 47 and Michael Rankin made 26 in the Saints' 155-7 - three wickets for Ross Hunter and two for Charlie Downey.
Group A: Newbuildings beat Ballyspallen by 9 wickets
Bonds Glen, 28 April.
Ballyspallen 169/6 (20 overs; James Cusack 76*, Kyle Morrow 53; Ross Dougherty 2-31)
Newbuildings 170/1 (16 overs; Gareth McKeegan 57*, Samarth Seth 57*, Jason Dunn 49)
Samarth Seth and Gareth McKeegan scored half centuries (CricketEurope)
Unbeaten half centuries from skipper Gareth McKeegan and Samarth Seth propelled Newbuildings to a 9-wicket win over Ballyspallen in a game switched to Bonds Glen. 'Spallen would have been happy enough with their total of 169 for 6, based around an unbeaten 76 from Australian overseas player James Cusack that included 8 fours and 3 sixes. Kyle Morrow also made a quickfire 53 (28 balls, 5 fours, 4 sixes). Ross Dougherty (2-31) was best with the ball. Jason Dunn hit 6 sixes in a rapid 49, sharing an opening stand of 97 in 10.3 overs with Gareth McKeegan. The skipper then added a further 73 in just 33 balls with Samarth Seth. Both finished on 57 not out with Seth's 20 ball innings including 7 fours and 4 sixes, while McKeegan also hit 7 fours and cleared the ropes twice.
