Emerging Warriors (CricketEurope)
MCC continued their Northern Ireland tour with an 18-run win against a young Emerging Warriors squad at Ardmore. Evan Williams top-scored with an entertaining 35-ball 62 (6 fours, 4 sixes) sharing an eighth wicket stand of 61 with David Miller that rescued their side from a precarious 150 for seven. There were runs too for James Hunter (33) , Ruairi Willis (30) and Jonathan Steele (26) in a total of 228 for nine, with three wickets apiece for Ryan Nolan and Bobby Brolly. Nolan (49) and Brolly (47) were also in the runs for the Warriors, but they finished on 210 - three wickets each for Harry Dyer and Ruairi Willis, and two for Ehtesham Ahmed. MCC finish the week on Friday with a match against the NCU Under 17s at Stormont.

Gary McClintock gets the cup from Derry Midweek President DW Caldwell (CricketEurope)
Donemana made it back-to-back wins over Newbuildings as they closed out a 65-run win at Glendermott. William McClintock and Levi Dougherty got their innings up and running with a half century stand in four overs. Ross Hunter and Johnny Thompson stalled the momentum, but Gary McClintock top-scored with 48 in another half century stand with Raymond Curry, while a late flourish saw Donemana post 180. That was always too many for Newbuildings who couldn't get really going despite a fluent 44 from Peat Salmon. Gareth McKeegan struggled with his timing, JT went first ball and Steve Lazars went cheaply as they ended on 115 for 9. Raymond Curry took three wickets, while Anui Jotin got the prized scalp of Salmon.

Winners Fox Lodge (CricketEurope)
A second wicket stand of 92 in 10 overs between Moillie Devine and Hannah McLaughlin helped Fox Lodge defend their Midweek Charity title as they beat Bready by 33 runs at Glendermott. Elle Moore had earlier made 23, but it was Devine's unbeaten 61 from 54 balls (7 fours, 1 six) that set the tone. Skipper McLaughlin was also positive making an unbeaten 39 from just 34 balls (5 fours) in a decent total of 139 for 2. Kaylee Barnard was promoted to opener in the absence of Alana Dalzell and Millie Spence, who were on Super Series duty, and top-scored with 46 as Bready were kept to 106. Chloe Young and Lucy Blair each took three wickets, while there were two apiece for Mollie Devine and Tanisha Hussain in the 33-run win.
