Coleraine ran out comfortable 66-run winners at home to Eglinton thanks primarily to a third wicket partnership of 119 between Amy Caulfield and Kenya McCartney (37). Caulfield top-scored with 80 from 58 deliveries, including 12 fours and two maximums as the Bannsiders made 147 for five. Anna McGurk’s three for five and two wickets for McCartney restricted Eglinton to just 81 for seven to keep Coleraine third in the table.

ALANA Dalzell hit an unbeaten 46 to propel Bready to the top of the North West Women’s Premiership with a surprisingly convincing eight-wicket win over defending champions Fox Lodge. The Irish international dominated a third wicket stand of 51 with Jodie Spence as Bready romped to their modest 82 target in the 12th over. Fox Lodge had struggled to get going as they limped to 81 for eight – helped by 31 extras - with Elle Moore and Mollie Devine both making 18. Jodie Spence and Sophie Hamilton each took two wickets in a fine effort by the bowling unit that never relinquished control of the game.

Bonds Glen beat Strabane in a high scoring game that saw Jessica Cooke (40) and Stephanie Wilkinson (38 not out) in the runs for the home side as they made 167 for seven – Nicola Mullen taking three wickets. Strabane started the chase well as Kylie McGarrigle hit eight fours in a 31-ball 43, putting on 68 for the first wicket with skipper Chloe Deans, who hit an unbeaten 40. Two wickets apiece for Leah and Lucy Thompson clinched a 21-run win for the Bee Gees.

Champions Fox Lodge were in ruthless mood as they easily swept aside the challenge of a Bonds Glen side that had gained an excellent win over Coleraine last week. The Bee Gees scored 85 for 5 with Karen Haslett carrying her bat for 41 not out, adding 48 for the third wicket with Jessica Cooke (17*). Elle Moore was the most successful of the Ballymagorry side's attack taking 2 for 20. Sarah Black must have been in a hurry to watch Coronation Street as she thumped 5 fours and 3 sixes in a 16-ball 40, dominating an opening stand of 51 inside four overs with Lucy Neely (12*). Mollie Devine was no slouch either as her excellent start to the season continued as she made a 16-ball unbeaten 26 (4 fours, 1 six) as the Ballymagorry side chased down their modest target in seven overs.

Strabane collected the points after Coleraine forfeited the match due to being unable to field a side due to GCSE examinations.

Bready returned to winning ways after their shock loss on Sunday, beating Eglinton by eight wickets. Batting first, Eglinton struggled to score against the home attack, with Lucy Carmichael's 12 the best of a modest 71 for 7 - boosted by 29 extras. There were two wickets apiece for Kaylee Barnard, Alana Dalzell, and Millie Spence. Jenni Jackson removed Millie Spence with the first ball of the reply, and soon after also accounted for Jodie Spence, but that was the end of Eglinton's hopes. Alana Dalzell hit five boundaries in an unbeaten 33, sharing a third wicket stand of 58 in 11 overs with Kaylee Barnard (21*) to clinch an eight wicket win.

Bonds Glen caused a surprise as they beat Coleraine by 7 wickets. The Bannsiders scored 119 for 7 with Irish international Kia McCartney making 33, sharing a half century stand with Connie Block, who scored 30. The Bee Gees were always in control of the chase as Leah Thompson hit 43 not out, well supported by Lucy Thompson who scored 28, and Jessica Cooke - 20 not out - in a seven wickets win.

Bready were almost as dominant as they beat Strabane by 9 wickets. Chloe Deans made 17 as Strabane were bowled out for 89 - two wickets apiece for Tiara Mitchell and Kaylee Barnard. Millie Spence hit six boundaries in her 46 not out, sharing an opening stand of 83 with Irish international Alana Dalzell, who scored 33.

Fox Lodge started the defence of their North West Women's premiership crown with an emphatic 10 wickets win at Eglinton. Mollie Devine took five wickets as the villagers were bowled out for 59, with Arianna McKenna making 21 of those. Lucy Neely scored 28 not out, sharing an unbroken opening partnership of 60 in nine overs with Sarah Black, who made an unbeaten 23 in the convincing win.
