Leinster ran out convincing 90-run winners against a Pembroke side that were missing the majority of their international players. Monil Patel's 25-ball 42 (3 fours, 3 sixes) was the best of their 171 for six. That proved more than enough as the Sydney Parade side were bundled out for 81, with three wickets apiece for Ben Mitchell and Bilal Azhar.

A third wicket stand of 58 between Macdara Cosgrave and Ryan Smith was the catalyst for Dublin University's 37-run win at Terenure. Cosgrave hit eight fours in a top score of 43, while Smith's 35 included six boundaries as they made 142 for eight - the home side giving ten bowlers a go. David Vincent and Jamie Forbes each took two wickets in the chase that saw Terenure never threaten the target, ending on 105 for six with Sagar Joshi making 42 and Donal Lynch 25.

Malahide travelled to Balbriggan and effectively had the game won in the first ten overs as the home side slumped to 51 for seven. Farooq Nasr (30) and Andrew Darroch (22) staged a mini-recovery, but 117 was never likely to trouble the visitors. It's been great to see Davy O'Halloran back in action and among the wickets as he picked up three, while there were two apiece for Jeremy Martins, Andrew Sheridan and Robbie Foulkes. The chase was all about Foukes - one of the stars of the first half of the Leinster season - who hit 11 fours and a maximum in a 51-ball 72, dominating a match-defining third wicket stand of 71 with Jeremy Martins (15) as the six wicket win was sealed in the 17th over.

Jamie Grassi hit 11 sixes and five fours in an unbeaten 115 that helped North County to a 56-run win at North Kildare. Grassi added 92 for the second wicket with Brian Dunphy (48) and 74 for the third wicket with Hunter Kindley (24) in a total of 216 for three. Brandon Morris then took four wickets as The Maws side were kept to 160 for eight.

Clontarf have been one of the form teams in Leinster this season and their winning streak continued as they chased 142 to beat Rush with five overs to spare. Finn McGee's 50 was the best of a Rush total of 141 with three wickets for Cillian McDonnell and two apiece for Patrick Xie, David Delany and Mitchell Thompson. Eoghan Delany's 14-ball 33 got the Castle Avenue side off to a flier, and although Conor Butterly took three wickets, Clontarf eased home to win by four wickets.

Oliver Horlock's 67 ensured The Hills had little trouble chasing down Adamstown's modest 120 total, securing an 8-wicket win.

Phoenix made it four wins in a row against Merrion as they continue to benefit from the mental scars inflicted in the Irish Senior Cup win last year. Daniel Forkin's unbeaten 54 was the best of Merrion's 144 for seven - three wickets for James Maginnis and two for Tom Malone. Shane Getkate's 47 and 20's from Tyrone Kane, Eknoor Singh and Levon Shields ensured the win with two balls to spare.

Rob O'Brien is quickly developing into the mainstay of the Railway Union side,and the Irish youth international was yet again in the runs as he hit an unbeaten 59 to ensure they chased down a modest Civil Service target of 122. Vijay Adhikari had hit a 28-ball 44 in the CS total of 121 that never looked enough.

Younas Ahmadzai blasted 7 sixes and fours in a 33-ball 79 to propel Leinster to an 81-run win over nearby Terenure. Ben Mitchell (34) and Saqib Bahadur (31) took the holders to a fine total of 192 - three wickets for Kripesh Shetty and two for Ben Dillon. The total was never in any doubt as Terenure lost wickets early with Joey Carroll, Kaustubh Apsunde and Ben Mitchell in the wickets. Donal Lynch counterattacked briefly with a 19-ball 34 (3 fours, 3 sixes), while Hancke Von Rauenstein made an unbeaten 31 in a final total of 111.

There was a high scoring match at College Park where Tim Tector was in the runs again as Pembroke beat Dublin University by 38 runs. Tiger Tim hit 5 fours and 4 sixes in a 49-ball 73, adding 87 for the second wicket with Blake MacDonald who hit 3 sixes and fours in a 28-ball 41. JJ Garth (39) and Gavin Hoey (22) also in the runs as the Sydney Parade side posted 201 for 5. Luke Murray (3-25) and Barry McCarthy (2-32) had the students in disarray, but they battled well to make 163 for 5 - thanks to a fourth wicket stand of 117 in 13 overs between David Vincent - whose 44-ball 51 included 8 fours - and Ryan Smith, who made a 29-ball 42 (3 fours, 2 sixes).

It was the Chris De Freitas show at Jack Harper Park as the Balbriggan all-rounder top-scored with an unbeaten 87 from 52 balls (6 fours, 4 sixes), sharing a second wicket stand of 110 in 12 overs with Cameron Rowe (43) in a total of 171 for 5. De Freitas then took 3 for 16 to ensure the 20-run win - two wickets for Sebastian De Oliveria.

Matt Ford was at his destructive best as Malahide's short trek to North County was a successful one. Ford hit 8 sixes and 4 fours in a 30-ball 76 to take his side to 181 for 8. Andrew Sheridan chipped in with 31 (5 fours, 1 six), while Hunter Kindley took two wickets against his old side. County's Suliman Safi clubbed 6 sixes in a 26-ball 54, but couldn't get the support needed to challenge the total - three wickets for Robbie Foulkes and Mike Frost, plus two for James Newland ensuring a 41-run win.

The Hills triumphed by four wickets in a low scoring Fingal derby at Rush. Finn McGee (35) and Craig May (25) rescued their side from 41 for 5 to a semi-respectable 123. Three wickets apiece for Sean McNicholl and Matthew Weldon, plus two for Tomas Rooney-Murphy. Oliver Horlock's 28 got The Hills off to a decent start, but they were made to work hard for the win in the 17th over - two wickets each for Nathan McGuire and Asher Abbasi.

Clontarf got the better of Adamstown at Airlie park in a match most memorable for Adamstown's Sibu being given out first ball for handling the ball. Ethan Marshall made a run-a-ball 33 as the Castle Avenue side posted 129 for 7 - John McNally chipping in with 21. The home reached 31 for 0 in the chase, then lost three wickets in four balls, including the Sid Biju one. Patrick Xie claimed 3 for 9, while there was two wickets each for Mitchell Thompson and Cillian McDonnell on the 46-run win.

Tyrone Kane's century made sure the Phoenix Park derby was a non-competitive one as Phoenix overpowered Civil Service by 106 runs. 'TK' cleared the ropes eight times and hit 6 fours in a 48-ball 101, adding 63 in six overs with skipper Adam Chester (19). George Dockrell also made 25 in a total of 191 for 7 - three wickets for Vijay Adhikari. CS in reply were all out for 85, with Ankit Gusain making 33 - three wickets for Amish Sidhu and two apiece for Ben White and Devender Raniola.

Overseas professional Connor Blaxall-Hill hit four sixes in a 25-ball top score of 44, adding 64 for the fourth wicket with John Anderson, who hit six fours in his 44. There were 20's for Sean Stanton (27*), Max Sorensen (22) and Adam Rosslee (21) in a total of 189 for 6 - three wickets for Liam MacCarthy. The Irish international made 22 in a disappointing Railway reply of 112 - two wickets for Peter Forkin and Sean Stanton.
