North Down 105/3 (25.4 overs: M Copeland 35*, T Koen 22*) (Delayed start - Match reduced to 37 overs)
Captain Tyron Koen and new professional Mickey Copeland eased North Down to a seven wickets victory over Cliftonville Academy. In a match delayed until 1.50pm and reduced to 37 overs, the visitors were bowled out for 99 with Copeland taking 4-17 in 6.2 overs. The South African then showed off his all-round talent with an unbeaten 35 in an unbroken partnership of 48 with new signing Koen who won the match with a six.

Moylena, 26 April.
Templepatrick 126/7 (28 overs: J Smyth 30, N Brand 30; J vd Merwe 2-32)

Allan Coulter into the action straight away (MCC)
Templepatrick’s first ever match in the Premier League ended in defeat at Moylena. Batting first, the new boys were restricted to 126 for seven in a match reduced by a rain interruption to 28 overs. Neil Brand, playing as a temporary professional, and opener Jack Smyth both scored 30. Muckamore’s target was upgraded to 152 but 47 not out from Mark Gleghorne saw them home with five balls to spare. New professional Randeera Ranasinge, batting at No 7, hit 26 off 18 balls.
Lisburn beat CIYMS by 1 wicket
Wallace Park, 26 April.
CIYMS 103 (30.1 overs: J Egan 44*; C Atkinson 3-33, N Whitworth 2-9, M Humphreys 2-14, R Macbeth 2-19)

Lisburn heroes as they win by 1 wicket (Dean Simpson)
Lisburn were the first Premier League winners of the new season but only after a thrilling finish in a low-scoring game at Wallace Park. CIYMS were bowled out for 103 with new signing Jake Egan’s 44 the only significant contribution as NCU chief executive Callum Atkinson had the best bowling figures of 3-33. Lisburn were 102 for five in reply but, remarkably, lost four wickets for one run before Ryan McBeth and last man Atkinson scrambled the winning single.
