Holywood remain unbeaten after a 65-run DLS victory against CSNI at Seapark. Lara Maritz made it two centuries in seven days, as the currently out of favour Irish international sent yet another message to the selectors with a brilliant unbeaten 101 from just 68 deliveries – 17 fours and one maximum. She dominated a third wicket partnership of 124 in just ten overs with Erin Bond (23no) as the Seapark side racked up 192 in 20 overs. CSNI were never in contention, struggling to 74 for five in 15 overs – captain Jemma Gillan top-scoring with 20 – before heavy rain forced the players from the field. Alexandra Atkinson with two wickets was the pick of the Holywood attack.

There was no play in the Lisburn versus North Down game scheduled for Wallace Park.

Waringstown are top after they made it four wins from four with a thumping 174-run victory against Muckamore. Amy Caulfield (33) and Sophie Hinds (29) shared an opening stand of 71 to lay the perfect platform for Charlotte Lyons and Abigaile Gerken. The pair scored half centuries in a third wicket stand of 119 in 11.2 overs to take them to a daunting 200 for three. Penny Speer then took four wickets as Muckamore were rolled over for just 26 – two wickets apiece for Lyons and Naomi Matthews.

Waringstown are still unbeaten in second place after they beat CSNI by eight wickets at Stormont. Skipper Jemma Gillan made 41 in a home side total of 109 for nine – two wickets apiece for Penny Speer, Rachel Harrison, Abigaile Gerkin and Amy Caulfield. Gillan struck twice in the first over of the chase, but Amy Caulfield (39no) and Sophie Hinds (37*) shared an unbroken third wicket partnership of 104 to seal victory in the 17th over.

Muckamore were also eight wicket winners at home to Lisburn. Joanne Logan took three wickets and Ella Naylor two for 17 to restrict Lisburn to 94 for seven, with Jade Neely making 26 not out. A run-a-ball unbeaten 30 from Beth McCrea and 26 from Naylor eased them home in the 12th over, both hitting four boundaries.

In the NCU Women’s Premiership, Holywood top the table after they won by 55 runs at North Down in a high scoring game. Lara Maritz thumped 12 fours and cleared the ropes nine times in a hard-hit 52-ball 121 before retiring. The former Irish international added 166 with overseas player Madison Landsman, who made a similarly boundary laden unbeaten 82 from 41 balls (12 fours, 3 sixes) in a Holywood total of 223 for one. Kiara Fisher made a spirited 96 not out in the chase, hitting 14 fours and one maximum in her 60-ball innings, but received little support as the Comber side ended on 168 for seven – three wickets for Erin Bond.

CSNI made it two wins from two as they beat North Down by 32 runs at Comber. Sarah Rountree top scored with 34, sharing a 50 stand with Rachael Thomas (19) as the Stormont side made 121 for 9 - boosted by 36 extras - three wickets for Evie Keenan and Rebecca Webster. North Down' chase failed to get any real momentum as they struggled to 89 for 7 with only Kiara Fisher - who hit five fours in an unbeaten 40 from 39 balls - showing serious resistance. The Stormont side stuck to their task well, with two wickets apiece for Emma Calvert and Eva Wilson.

Holywood's bowlers proved too strong for Muckamore in their clash at Seapark. Eva Cuppitt's 31 helped Holywood to what might have looked a modest 101 for 6 in their 20 overs - two wickets for Beth McCrea. It proved more than enough though as the Moylena side were skittled for just 40 - three wickets for overseas player Madison Landsman and Nina Kerr, while Tasmin Hope claimed 2 for 6 in a convincing 61-run win.

Waringstown went top of the table after they beat Lisburn by six wickets at The Lawn. Rebecca Lowe hit five boundaries in a 35-ball 44, sharing a second wicket stand of 83 with Sarah McCallan (29). The wheels came off though thereafter as Lisburn lost nine wickets for just 22 runs - Penny Speer taking 4 for 23, Naomi Matthews 3 for 14, and Irish international Cara Murray 2/21. Amy Caufield and Abbi Harrison each made 37 in a third wicket partnership of 60 in nine overs as Waringstown chased down their target inside 12 overs despite two wickets for Faith Wright.

CSNI flexed their muscles with an entertaining 52-run win over Muckamore at Stormont. Jemma Gillan was the batting hero for CSNI as she hit six boundaries in an unbeaten 60-ball 69. There were runs too for Sarah Rountree (19) and Emma Kennedy (17*) in a total of 177 for 6. Ulster Hockey and NCU pathways players Ella Naylor kept the chase interesting with a 29-ball 53 (9 fours, 1 six), but her dismissal ended their faint hopes. Eva Wilson (3-19) and Emma Kennedy (2-18) taking a combined five wickets.

Holywood travelled to Lisburn and came away with a ten-wickets win thanks to a dominant all-round display. The Wallace Park side managed just 61 with Sophie Orr (18) and Cherry Geddam (13) their double figures contributors. South African born Netherlands international Madison Landsman took 3 for 6 with her leg breaks, while there were two wickets each for Tamsin Hope - the Hampshire pathways player who attends Rockport School looks a real prospect at just 13 - and Erin Bond. The modest target was knocked off with minimum fuss, as Lara Maritz hit 5 fours and a six in her unbeaten 35, sharing an opening stand of 63 with Eva Cupitt (16*) as the runs were knocked off in just 7.3 overs.

Waringstown had little trouble accounting for North Down at The Lawn, running out 10-wickets winners. The Comber side were restricted to 64 for 6 with Keziah Dines top-scoring with 20, and Evey Keenan (16). Naomi Matthews (4-7) starred with the ball for the hosts. The chase was a routine one as New Zealand U19 international Abigaile Gerken hit six boundaries in an unbeaten 34, sharing an opening stand of 65 with Amy Caulfield (12*).
