NWCU Sam Jeffrey Cup 2025
Sperrin Springs Cup
Final: Strabane beat Bonds Glen by 38 runs.
The Boathole, 29 June.



Strabane got the better of Bonds Glen in the Donegal sunshine at St Johnston. Dharm Singh (3-4) and Stevie Dunn (2-26) had the Red Caps in all sorts of strife at 77 for seven before the Tyrone side rallied. Ryan Gallagher (33) and Man-of-the-Match Mark McNulty - who hit a 15-ball unbeaten 25 - took Strabane to 117 for 7. The chase never really got going as they were bogged down. Still, Divan Posthumus (28) gave them hope, but he fell to Andrew Mullen, with the left-arm spinner taking 3 for 8, just missing out on the M.O.M accolade. Rhys Logue (2-6) also in the wickets as they retained the trophy won last year at home to Fox Lodge. The Derry Midweek collected 500 euros and 105 pounds on their collection for charities around the ground.
Semi-final: Killyclooney lost to Ballyspallen by 4 wickets
Killyclooney, 28 June.



Ballyspallen recovered from 84 for 5 to chase down Killyclooney's 257, winning by four wickets. Jurie Snyman - in as a replacement professional for Kagiso Rapulana - justified the short-term inclusion with a top-score of 112 from 103 balls (11 fours, 6 sixes). He shared a sixth wicket stand of 116 with Stuart Kennedy, who finished the job after Snyman's departure, hitting 8 fours and 3 sixes in his unbeaten 72, adding an unbroken 58 for the seventh wicket with Jay O'Brien. Earlier, there was another South African professional century, as Arun Visser's 101-ball 140 (16 fours, 4 sixes) led the hosts to 257, sharing stands of 88 with skipper Kenzie Hall (28) and teenager Alfie Moan (34). The Kennedy clan did the bulk of the damage with the ball, taking 8 of the 10 wickets to fall.
Semi-final: Glendermott beat St Johnston by 192 runs
The Rectory, 28 June.



Trevor Britton took nine wickets as Glendermott bowled out St Johnston for 75 to win by 192 runs at The Rectory. A solid batting effort has seen Geeth Kumara top score with 66 in a total of 267 for 8. The win will have them in good spirits as they begin their long journey to Kerry for the National Cup quarter-final.
Round 1: Killyclooney beat Sion Mills by 8 wickets
Killyclooney, 31 May.



Killyclooney made short work of Sion Mills as they bowled their fellow Tyrone side out for 78. Glenn McCallan top-scoring with 19. Skippers past and present Timmy Dougherty (4-20) and Kenzie Hall (3-26) did the bulk of the damage, while youngster Alfie Moan claimed two scalps. McCallan picked up two consolation wickets, but the home side won before the end of the powerplay, with Aron Visser making a 25-ball unbeaten 43 (6 fours, 2 sixes), while Dougherty also cleared the ropes twice in a brief cameo.
Round 1: St Johnston beat Fox Lodge by 5 wickets
The Boathole, 31 May.



Nathan Cole was the St Johnston hero in an entertaining five-wicket win over Fox Lodge at the Boathole in a game reduced to 36 overs. Gayan Maneeshan's 57 was the best of the Ballymagorry's side 153 for 9, sharing a third wicket stand of 104 with Jason Milligan (30) - two wickets apiece for Ryan McAuley, Michael Rankin and Nathan Cole. Aaron Heywood then took 2 for 5 in a 7 overs spell to reduce the home side to 54 for 4 approaching the halfway point of the chase. Cole and David Lapsley (34) then got the Saints back on track with a 5th wicket stand of 69, with Cole hitting four fours and two sixes in a match-winning unbeaten 57.
Round 1: Glendermott beat Burndennett by 7 wickets
The Rectory, 31 May.



Glendermott's Geeth Kumara showed his class as the Rectory side chased 152 to beat Burndennett. Corey Roulston (34) and Derek Curry (20) helped the visitors rally from 90 for 8 to 151 - two wickets each for Kumara, Boyd and skipper Alan Johnson. Ben Mills went cheaply but a third wicket stand of 95 between Jason Lynch (35) and Kumara settled the contest - Kumara's unbeaten 77 from 74 balls included 7 fours and 4 sixes.
Round 1: Bonds Glen lost to Ballyspallen by 8 wickets
Bonds Glen, 31 May.


Ballyspallen had little trouble reaching the last four with an emphatic 8-wicket win at Bonds Glen. Isaac Bird was one again front and centre as he took four wickets to bundle out the Bee Gees for 116 - 20's for Johnny and Sam Haslett. There were two wickets apiece for Stuart Kennedy and Kasigo Rapulana, and it was the South African who enjoyed himself with the bat in the chase. He hit 12 fours and one maximum in a 57-ball unbeaten 65, sharing an unbroken third wicket stand of 94 with skipper Stephen Kennedy (18*) after Kyle Moore (2-27) had struck two early blows.
