There was no play possible at Strabane Park but the home side captain did welcome new Player/Coach John Mooney to the Red Caps presenting him with his number 10 shirt.

Fox Lodge looked well placed on 110 for 1 when play was halted at Bridge Park. TJ Nicholl raced out of the block with a 17-ball 30 (2 fours, 3 sixes) as he and Charlie Simpson had 50 on the board inside five overs. Simpson was 53 not out, adding an unbroken 60 for the second wicket with Gayan Maneeshan (24*) before the game was abandoned.

'Big Ben' Mills thumped 8 sixes in a rapid unbeaten 88 before the persistent rain forced the teams from the field never to return. Mills also stroked five fours in his 54-ball knock, sharing an opening stand of 94 with talented Ireland youth international Leyland McElwee (39). Pushpender Singh (2-21) dismissed McElwee and Jake Montgomery in the same over, but Mills then hit three sixes off his next over to keep Glendermott in top gear before play was abandoned.

The Nedd and Burndennett got the furthest of the senior action in the North West, reaching the halfway stage before the plug was eventually pulled. Richard Stewart took a hat-trick in his figures of 4 for 27, while brother Neal also had a quartet of scalps. Opener Mark Pollock hit 39 but at 105 for 9 it looked bleak for the Tyrone side. However, Niall McDonnell was batting at 10 after a calf injury last week, and he showed his quality in an unbeaten 42 from 31 balls (2 fours, 3 sixes) adding an unbroken 65 in 10 overs with skipper Conan Pollock (24*).

The game was called off on Friday with the conditions too soft to get a pitch in time.

St Johnston got their season up and running with a 7 wickets win at home to Ballyspallen. The visitors struggled batting first with James Cusack's patient 54 the best of their 120 for 8 - four wickets for Scott Devenney. Deepak Reddy thumped four sixes and 3 fours in an unbeaten 57 from 56 balls, adding 71 for the second wicket with David Lapsley (31) to all but seal the win.

The Nedd had a tough Championship baptism as they went down to a 10-wickets loss at Bonds Glen. The Ballykelly side were bowled out for 137, with Jamie Mills making 31 and 20's for Sean Hargan and Johnny Young, Heinrich Roberts took 3 for 17, while there were two each for new professional Divan Posthumus and teenage spinner Sam Kincaid. Another teenager, Sam Haslett top-scored with an unbeaten 61 from 57 balls (9 fours, 2 sixes), sharing an unbroken opening stand of 138 with Simon Killen, whose run-a-ball 59 included 5 fours and 3 sixes, as the Bee Gees romped to a 10-wickets win.

Glendermott overcame a rusty start to power to a 5-wickets win at Burndennett. The home side's openers Mark Doherty (29) and Mark Pollock (25) shared an opening stand of 59 in 8 overs before skipper Alan Johnson decided he had seen enough and took matters into his own hands, accounting for both. Spin to win is the key in the NW and Ben Mills helped himself to a five-wickets haul as the hosts collapsed to 133 - not helped by a calf injury to Niall McDonnell, who retired hurt. Two wickets apiece for Ross McCay and Conan Pollock had the contest even at 73 for 5, but Manav Chhabra proved the match-winner. He thumped 6 fours and 3 sixes in a 28-ball knock, adding 61 in 7 overs with Trevor Britton (19*) to seal a five-wickets win.
