STEPHEN Doheny and Ben White helped Munster Reds to a 47-run win over the Northern Knights on the second day of the T20 interprovincials in Cork. Doheny has been on the periphery of the Irish squad for the past few seasons and took that frustration out on the NCU attack with a record-breaking innings. He clubbed a record 16 sixes on his way to an unbeaten 150 from just 56 deliveries, also registering the fastest century and the highest individual score in an innings that will live long in the memory. Chasing 215, the Knights were actually ahead of the required rate thanks to a 19-ball 55 from Cade Carmichael, but Ben White’s five wicket haul was decisive in the Munster win.

Defending champions Leinster Lightning welcomed back their six international players and they played a vital role in a bonus point four-wicket win over the North-West Warriors. Chasing 130, Tim Tector cleared the ropes five times in a rapid half century to get them off to a flying start. Eglinton leg-spinner Robbie Millar pegged them back with three wickets, but Gavin Hoey hit an eight-ball unbeaten 20 to secure the win. The series continues on Thursday when there’s an all-Ulster clash in the morning, followed by Munster against Leinster in the afternoon.
