Donemana made it four wins from four as they beat Killyclooney by 20 runs. Gary (42) and William (36) both hit five sixes as they made 143 - three wickets each for Jason Wallace and Andrew Neill, plus two for Timmy Dougherty. Alan Colhoun hit a rapid 44 in the chase, but four wickets for Anuj Jotin proved decisive.

Ballyspallen won the clash of the Championship sides, boosted by the timely return from Australia of Graham Kennedy. The former Ireland A player hit five sixes in a top score of 47 in their total of 146 for seven - 24 apiece too for Pushpender Singh and Luke Gilfillan. Graeme McCarter and David Barnard the pick of the Saints attack. The chase never got going as the hosts were dismissed for 91 - four wickets for Kasigo Rapulana and three for Singh to complete a fine all-round performance.

Eglinton ran out comfortable winners at Ardmore, with the Bleachgreen side again struggling in all aspects of the game. Junaid Ali (27) and Muhammed Edrees (19) put on 44 for the first wicket, but thereafter it was a tale of woe with a succession of single digit scores seeing them bundled out for 104 - three wickets each for Robbie Millar and Dylan McElhatton, while Jamie Millar picked up two. The modest target proved little trouble as Andy Millar hit 7 fours and 2 sixes in an unbeaten 57 from just 43 balls to seal the eight-wicket win.

James Smallwoods and Josh Wilson scored vital boundaries in the final over as Brigade once again showed their depth in getting the 11 runs they needed from the final over to deny Coleraine. The Bannsiders made 149 for seven with South African professional Louren Steenkamp hitting 5 fours and sixes in a 41-ball 74, while Patrick Carson made 29. Ifty Hussain took three wickets and it was he who top-scored for the visitors with 42 (5 fours, 2 sixes). Three wickets for Rory Knox and two for Stephen Hutchinson put Coleraine on top as the holders looked to be bowing out, but Brigade had other ideas to make the journey back to the Waterside an enjoyable one.

Burndennett for the third week in succession conceded the fixture, this time at Bonds Glen.

Newbuildings ensured their FV semi-final berth as they made light of a target of 159 in 18 overs to win with more than three overs to spare. Ross Dougherty got the chase off to a fast start with a 26-ball half century (7 fours, 2 sixes), and a third wicket stand of 88 between Ryan Hunter (47*) and Peat Salmon (45*) - both of whom hit five sixes - saw the hosts romp home. Earlier, Bready openers Gavin Roulston (79) and David Rankin (57) shared an opening stand of 141, but hopes of a strong finish were dashed by Ross Hunter, who took five wickets for 26 - four in the final over that also contained a hat-trick.

Ali Doherty thumped 8 fours and 5 sixes in a 44-ball 75 that gave Fox Lodge a chance of securing top spot in Group D, but although they won the battle, they lost the war as Newbuildings victory ensured their progress to the Faughan Valley Cup. Glendermott had made 120 for 7 with skipper Alan Johnson making 40 (3 fours, 3 sixes) before becoming the first of four run-outs. Leyland McElwee hit an unbeaten 24, but the modest target proved nowhere near enough after Doherty's blitzkrieg.

Anuj Jotin was in fine form as Donemana made short work of their 126-run target at home to Strabane. The Indian hit 11 fours and 6 sixes in a 39-ball unbeaten 88, adding 88 for the second wicket with Gary McClintock - who hit 4 fours and a six in a run-a-ball 28 - after William McClintock went second ball. Strabane professional Ranjitha hit four sixes in a top-score of 34 in a Red Caps total of 125 - three wickets for DJ Dougherty and two for young left-arm spinner Sam Huey.

It was Millar time at Ballyspallen as Eglinton skipper Jamie took four for 16 and younger sibling Robbie 2 for 13 as the home side were skittled for just 51 - two wickets also for Mark Averill. The modest target was knocked off inside nine overs with Robbie and Lahiru Gamage each making 14 in the seven wickets win.

There was no play possible at St Johnston due to a wet outfield.

Coleraine's excellent season continued as they beat Bonds Glen by 25 runs thanks to a fine bowling display. The Bannsiders posted 107 for 4 with Marcus Poskitt making 28 and Louren Steenkamp 26. Stephen Hutchinson then took 2 for 5 as the Bee Gees slumped to 30 for 5. Sam Kincaid's 25 gave them a small chance, but they couldn't find a grandstand finish as Matthew Hutchinson claimed 2 for 13 to keep them to 82 for 9.

Brigade gained full points as Burndennett were unable to field a side.

Game of the night was at The Rectory where in a dramatic finish, Glendermott beat Bready by 1 run. With two needed from two balls, Ian Cooke dismissed Swarnim Jha and in a further twist - his son Aaron - both caught by Ben Mills much to the delight of the home support. Mills had hit 6 sixes in a 39-ball 69, while there were runs too for Curtis Ross (39) and Craig Doherty (22). Nathan McCombe claimed four wickets, while there were two for skipper Ian Young. He led the chase with a top-score of 70 from 48 balls (8 fours, 4 sixes), while Gavin Roulston hit a breezy 32. Nathan McCombe's two late sixes looked to have won it for Bready, but the wily Cooke had the final say.

Ryan Hunter (41*) and Peat Salmon (37*) shared a third wicket stand of 78 in ten overs as Newbuildings made short work of their 105 target at Fox Lodge winning by eight wickets in the 15th over. Both cleared the ropes three times, with Jason Dunn chipping in with 22. Earlier Levi Kerr's nine-ball 22 and the same contribution from Jamie McIntyre. Bull Dunn collected three wickets, while there were two apiece from Gregory McFaul and Charlie Downey in a fine bowling effort.

Kenzie Hall's half century spearheaded Killyclooney's successful pursuit of 171 at home to Strabane. The skipper top-scored with 56 from 37 balls (8 fours, 3 sixes), sharing an opening stand of 62 in the powerplay with William Finlay (33). Timmy Dougherty chipped in with 24 as 'Clooney won by five wickets in the penultimate over. Earlier, Rhys Logue (49) and Aaron Gillespie (42) shared a second wicket partnership of 79 in eight overs to help their side to 171 for 4 - Subhan Shirzad making an 11-ball 24. They needed him to continue in that vein a bit longer, but it wasn't to be.

Burndennett conceded the game after they were unable to gather up enough players due to work commitments to make the trip to Coleraine.

Cameron Melly and Adam McDaid shared a second wicket stand of 136 in 14 overs to lead Brigade to a 9-wicket win at home to Bonds Glen. Chasing 142, Scott Macbeth went early, but Melly hit 12 fours and 3 sixes in an unbeaten 40-ball 85, while McDaid's 44 not out included seven boundaries. Divan Posthumus - back from South Africa following family bereavements - had earlier cleared the ropes four times in a 42-ball 61, while Andy Britton (3-21) and DD Barr (2-28) were best with the ball for Brigade.

Eglinton edged out St Johnston in a tight game at The Boathole. The home side made 122 for 8 with Michael Rankin making a run-a-ball 32 (3 fours, 1 six), sharing a second wicket stand of 53 with Josh Hansadale (27). The Aussie is now at the Saints after the NW didn't allow him to be registered at Fox Lodge. Dylan McElhatton (3-11) and Robbie Millar (2-24) were in the wickets for the villagers. Liam Doherty sped off with a quick 28, but skipper David Anthony (3-22) and Hansadale (2-29) had Eglinton fretting. Step forward Ross McLaughlin who hit three fours in his unbeaten 17 to seal the four-wicket win in the 18th over.

Gavin Roulston hit 9 fours and 2 sixes in a top score of 63 in 44 balls, sharing a second wicket stand of 80 in nine overs with Josh van Heerdon (41*) as Bready overpowered Fox Lodge. The Ballymagorry side had struggled to 107 for 8 with Gayan Maneeshan (26) and Jason Milligan (21) their main contributors - two wickets for Ian Young. The Magheramason side knocked off their modest target with minimum fuss in just 11.1 overs to clinch the eight-wicket win.

An opening stand of 149 between Jason Dunn and Johnny Thompson led Newbuildings to an emphatic ten-wicket win at Glendermott. Dunn top-scored with a 32-ball unbeaten 78 (7 fours, 6 sixes), while JT made 66 not out against his old club, also clearing the ropes six times as well as hitting five fours. Earlier, JT took two wickets in the home side's 148 for 3 - Jason Lynch making 50 before retiring hurt, while there were 30's for Alan Johnson (6 fours, 1 six) and Craig Doherty (34). It wasn't enough as Newbuildings raced to the win in the 13th over - without Peat Salmon making it to the middle.

It was a tale of two centuries as Ballyspallen pulled off a remarkable run chase to beat Ardmore by seven wickets. Junaid Ali hit 14 fours and 3 sixes in a 54-ball 101, while Muhammad Edrees cleared the ropes five times in a 24-ball 44 as the Bleachgreen side posted 200 for 6 - Dylan McElhinney took four wickets including three in four balls. Isaac Bird had flown in his short time at Ballyspallen, and once again the New Zealander showed his class by hitting 12 fours and 6 sixes in a 51-ball 102, dominating an opening stand of 93 with Pushpender Singh (21). Kasigo Rapulana took up the mantle with Bird's departure, his unbeaten 48 (6 fours, 1 six) sealing a stunning seven wickets win with two overs to spare.

William McClintock was a man in a hurry and has the stats men scouring the record books for the fastest century after his efforts at Donemana. He thumped an unbeaten 105 from just 30 balls - 12 fours and 9 sixes - as the home side chased 143 in 7.2 overs! McClintock's second wicket stand with Levi Dougherty saw 95 added in 4.2 overs - with Dougherty's contribution six. Earlier DJ Dougherty took five wickets, while there were runs for Kenzie Hall (48), Andrew Neill (40), and Aron Visser (35) in Killyclooney's total of 141. It seemed as if it might give them a chance - it didn't...

Game of the night was at the Foyleview Arena, where Newbuildings and Bready served up a real thriller. Peat Salmon hits 10 fours and 7 sixes in a 54-ball 107 as heand Johnny Thompson - who hit 6 fours in his unbeaten 37 - added 118 for the fifth wicket to take their side to 186. Ryan Clarke hit five boundaries in his 29, putting on 50 with David Rankin for the first wicket. Rankin went on to score 70 not out from 50 balls (6 fours, 2 sixes), adding an unbroken 136 from 14 overs with overseas professional Josh van Heerdon. With 33 needed from the last two overs, the South African cleared the ropes three times in the penultimate over. That left 12 needed from the last bowled by Ross Hunter. The Newbuildings skipper kept them to seven from the first five, but Van Heerdon ensured a share of the spils and the points with a boundary from the last - a fitting ending to a wonderful game.

Eglinton won again thanks to a fine batting effort at home to Ballyspallen. Professional Lakshan Gamage top-scored with 40, while there were runs too for Jamie (37) and Robbie Millar (26), as well as Ross McLaughlin (24). Isaac Bird hit a 50-ball 61 (7 fours, 3 sixes) adding 80 for the second wicket with Stuart Kennedy (25). However, from 103 for 1 in the 13th over, scoreboard pressure told, with Richard Wylie claiming 3 for 21 and Gamage 2-18 in an excellent win.

Bonds Glen were convincing 8-wicket winners over Burndennett, who were bowled out for 103 - Conor Patton (23*) and Derek Curry (21) their best batters. Kyle Moore collected three scalps, while there were two apiece for Sam Kincaid and Heinrich Roberts. Dharm Singh made a quick 20 in the chase, and a second wicket stand of 68 between Simon Killen (33) and Roberts - whose 22-ball unbeaten 47 included 6 fours and 3 sixes - ensured a routine win for the Bee Gees.

St Johnston travelled to Ardmore and came away with a deserved and convincing win. Batting first, Jack Macbeth made a run-a-ball 51 (6 fours), sharing a second wicket stand of 94 with Michael Rankin, whose 28-ball 56 included 8 fours and 2 sixes. A total of 161 was always out of the home sides reach, especially as Junaid Ali and Muhammad Edrees both went early in the reply. David Barnard (3-25) and skipper David Anthony (2-6) the pick of the Donegal side as they restricted Ardmore to 99 for 7 - Conor Brolly (21*) the best of a poor batting effort.

Aaron Heywood was the star of the show as Fox Lodge beat Glendermott. The former skipper made 25 as he and Ivan McNeill - who made a run-a-ball 31 - rescued the Foxies from 76 for 7 with an eighth wicket stand of 58 in nine overs. Earlier Ali Doherty had crashed 4 fours and 3 sixes in a 19-ball 38. JJ O'Brien and Ryan Nolan each took three wickets for Glendermott. Nolan then hit 4 fours and a six in a top score of 32, but four wickets for Heywood ensured victory for Fox Lodge.

Coleraine took full advantage of a Brigade side missing a trio of Warriors, with Craig Averill the star of the show at Beechgrove. Averill top-scored with a 54-ball 80 (9 fours, 4 sixes), dominating a third wicket stand of 111 with Matthew Hutchinson (20). Ryan Barr 3-6 was the pick of the Brigade bowlers. The Bannsiders were able to pick up the points thanks to a solid display with two wickets each for Averill, skipper Rory Knox, and Matthew Hutchinson. Adam McDaid and James Smallwoods each scored 24 as they ended on 118 for 7.

Ardmore ran out 18-run winners at Eglinton thanks primarily to skipper Harry Zimmermann's 51. Robbie Millar took 3 for 20 including the wicket of Saturday centurion Junaid Ali, while Mark Averill took two in the Bleachgreen side's 148 for 9. Eglinton were in part authors of their own misfortune as they fielded the bulk of the Ardmore innings with only 10 players. Ali did take two wickets in the chase to keep the villagers to 130 for 6 - Gamage top-scoring with 38.

It was the Pete Salmon show as Newbuildings got their first win of the season beating Glendermott by 7 wickets. Jake Montgomery (30*) and Alex Boyd (26*) put on 66 for the 7th wicket after Salmon's 2 for 6 had them reeling at 44 for 6. The Jamaican then showed his batting power as he swatted 9 sixes in an unbeaten 75 from just 45 deliveries as Newbuildings eased to a 7-wickets win.

Strabane were left shaking their heads after they contrived to lose a game that seemed impossible. Kenzie Hall had made 30 in Killyclooney's modest looking 116 for 8 - three wickets apiece for Andrew Mullen and Ranjitha Liyanarachchi. Subhan Shirzad crashed 3 sixes and 3 fours in a rapid 54, adding 82 for the second wicket with Rhys Logue (39). From 88 for 1 however, Strabane faltered and couldn't get the boundary they needed from the last three balls to get themselves out of the mess they created, Hall completed a fine weekend with three wickets/

Fox Lodge were another Championship side claiming a Premiership scalp as they deservedly took the A5 bragging rights beating Bready by 21 runs. Seven of the Foxies top eight reached double figures with Jason Milligan's 38 not out the best of their 156 for 6. Kyle Magee made 52 in the chase, but Aaron Heywood's 3 for 17, and two apiece for Maneeshan and McIntyre sealed the win.

Chasing what looked a modest target of 105, Coleraine were skittled for just 60, with three wickets apiece for Cody Mehaffey, and Paul Murphy. Derek Curry and Rammatullah, who has arrived from Rush, ensured the very welcome win.

Brigade were in dominant mood at Bonds Glen as they clinched a 9-wickets win in the 11th over.

The Tyrone side had made a modest 105 for 7 with Mark Doherty's 28 the best effort. Macbeth, Jamie Millar and David Barr claiming two wickets each. The chase was over just after halfway as Macbeth thumped a 35-ball unbeaten 70 (4 fours, 6 sixes), sharing an opening stand of 109 with Mark Hanna (38*).

Travis Nicholl clubbed eight sixes in a whirlwind 61 to ensure a comfortable win for Fox Lodge over Newbuildings. Nicholl shared half century stands with Charlie Simpson and Gayan Maneeshan, with the Sri Lankan also passing 50. Luke Hayes weighed in with an unbeaten 35 in an imposing total of 181 for 3 - two wickets for Johnny Thompson. Pete Salmon hit 31 but he was one of four wickets for Levi Kerr as the Foxies won by 77 runs - two wickets also for Ali Doherty, Jordan McIntyre, and Aaron Heywood.

Craig Doherty's maiden senior hundred for Glendermott was ultimately in vain as they lost to Bready. Craig reached the landmark off the penultimate ball of the game, his landmark knock taking 58 balls that included 8 fours and 6 sixes. Gavin Roulston went off like a rocket hitting 3 sixes and fours in an 11-ball 31 but when he, David Rankin and Kyle Magee went in quick succession it was in the balance. New signing Mark Pollock took centre stage as he thumped 7 fours and 5 sixes in a 46-ball unbeaten 76, adding an unbroken 88 for the fourth wicket with Ryan Clarke (27*).

Andy Millar hit an unbeaten 41 to follow up his two wickets as Eglinton beat St Johnston.

Millar controlled the chase to seal victory in the 17th over.

Ballyspallen made it three wins from three as they ran out easy winners over Ardmore. The Bleachgreen side raced to 34 for 0 in 3 overs before the wheels came off. Junaid Ali hit a brisk 30, but three wickets for Pushpender Singh plus two apiece for Stephen Kennedy, Isaac Bird and Michael O'Brien saw them crash to 60 all out. Bird hit four sixes in a 22-ball 43 as 'Spallen raced to an 8-wickets win in the 7th over.

Coleraine staged a fighting comeback to run out comfortable 44-run winners in the end. The Bannsiders had posted 166 for 2 with Craig Averill and Stephen Hutchinson both scoring 50's and Patrick Carson making 31. The Bee Gees looked on course to chase it down as Johnny Haslett's hard-hit 48 took them to 84 for 2 approaching the halfway point of the chase. Ahamd Raza accounted for him, Divan Posthumus and Sam Kincaid in quick succession, and when skipper Rory Knox got in on the act, the Bee Gees chase petered out.
