Curtis Campher took five wickets in five balls as the Warriors were bowled out for 88, losing by 100 runs to Munster Reds. Scott Macbeth (33) and Andy McBrine (29) added 49 for the 5th wicket after Bakhytar Nabi (3-18) had reduced them to 29 for four. The wheels then came off as the last six wickets added 10 runs. There were five ducks in the NW innings - four going first ball in a horrific batting effort. Campher top-scored with 44, while PJ Moor's last game saw him make 35 in a total of 188 for 7. Moor wasn't awarded a contract by Cricket Ireland in March, and with no Test cricket on the immediate horizon he has opted to return to his native Zimbabwe to work in the family business.

Champions Leinster Lightning finished on a winning note as they clinched a final over two-wicket win against Northern Knights. Morgan Topping's 51 (4 fours, 4 sixes) included 25 off one Josh Little over as he and James McCollum (30) added 84 in seven overs, while Tom Mayes hit 46 in a total of 187 for 9 - four wickets for Gavin Hoey. Chris De Freitas went first ball but a second wicket stand of 111 between the Tector brothers looked to be setting up a routine win. However, once Tim went for 85 - taking his tournament tally to 507 - there were a few nerves, but David Delany made a vital 24, while Josh Little cleared long-on by some distance to seal the win with four balls to spare to ensure the champions finished on a high note after four weeks of almost total domination - eight of their ten wins coming with a bonus point.

Ben White bowled Munster Reds to victory with his four wickets derailing the Knights after Ross Adair (39) and Paul Stirling (32) had raced out of the traps chasing 180. White's 4 for 26 and Bryon McDonough's three wickets saw them bowled out for 166. Earlier half centuries for Philippe Le Roux and Kian Hilton took Munster to 180 for 9, with 20's for Swapnil Modgill and PJ Moor. Sean Davey took four wickets, while Matthew Humphreys picked up three in another good effort.

Tim Tector scored his first century in the T20 Trophy as champions Leinster Lightning continued their winning run, with yet another impressive chase. They failed to pick up a bonus point for their win, by six wickets, for the first first time this season but Tector enjoyed the limelight with relief as much as celebration evident when he reached the landmark. Tector also became the first Lightning batter to score 1,000 runs in the competition and the third overall. He was out immediately after, to a fine low catch by Robbie Millar but with only nine runs required and two overs remaining, victory was already assured. Tector faced just 51 balls for his century and hit 12 fours and three sixes. Chris de Freitas had launched the Lightning chase for 199 in spectactular fashion with a 20-ball 50, again out shortly afterwards, having seven fours and three sixes, in an opening stand of 86 in just 7.3 overs. Warriors must have thought they were in the game having posted 198 for two with Andrew Balbirnie top scoring against his former team-mates with 80 off 51 balls (10 fours, three sixes). After his dismissal, Jake Egan and Cameron Melly added 42 in 21 balls but it still wasn’t enough against the all-conquering Lightning side.

David Delany's triple wicket maiden on his way to a personal interpro best figures of 4 for 19 set Leinster Lightning on the way to yet another bonus point win against Munster Reds. Curtis Campher's return from injury was a successful one as he helped Munster recover, top-scoring with 57 (9 fours, 1 six), while Liam McCarthy (37*) added late runs to get them to 159 Chris De Freitas was again in the runs, making a fluent 66 (8 fours, 3 sixes) sharing stands of 52 and 80 with Tim (27) and Harry Tector (32*). Skipper Lorcan Tucker thumped a seven-ball unbeaten 20 as the eight-wicket win was clinched in the 16th over. That completed an excellent day for Tucker on his home soil as he took five catches - a record for the T20 Trophy.

Sam Topping reminded his former NCU team mates of his batting quality making a match-winning 83 as the Warriors made light work of chasing down 174 at Pembroke. The Waringstown left-hander's 48-ball innings included 9 fours and 4 sixes, sharing stands of 86 for the first wicket with Andy Balbirnie (35) and 50 for the second with Jake Egan (37*). Matthew Humphreys (2-32) was the pick of a largely toothless attack. Earlier, there were two stand-out displays in a largely disappointing Knights batting effort, with Cade Carmichael and Ben Calitz making half centuries. Carmichael top-scored with 60 (6 fours, 1 six) adding 74 in seven overs with Ben Calitz, who cleared the wall six times in a 32-ball 58 that got the Knights up to 173 for seven - two wickets apiece for Andy McBrine, Graham Hume, and David O'Sullivan.

Heavy rain meant no play was possible in the second game of the day. The wash outs mean Leinster Lightning are T20 Trophy champions again - their 9th title in the 13 years it has been competed for.

In the morning match, the Knights opening pair of Paul Stirling and Ross Adair finally came good as they trounced Munster in a rain-affected contest. John McNally hit five fours and two sixes in a top-score of 61, adding 59 for the second wicket with Stephen Doheny, who hit a rapid 40. Liam McCarthy added late runs with a 17-ball unbeaten 37, and a final total of 170 looked to be around par at the midway stage. Stirling and Adair though made a mockery of the target as they smashed the Munster attack to all parts of the Tyrone venue. They put on 132 in just 56 balls with Stirling making an unbeaten 79 from only 34 balls, and Adair a 29-ball 60. In total they hit a combined ten fours and 14 sixes – 144 of the 152 runs scored coming in boundaries. Heavy rain stopped the carnage, with the Knights declared 72-run (DLS) winners.

LEINSTER Lightning made it seven bonus point wins on the bounce as they brushed aside the North West Warriors in a 79-run win on the second day of the T20 Interprovincial series at Bready. It was a one-sided affair from start to finish as the defending champions encountered no resistance from the bitterly disappointing hosts. Chris De Freitas and Tim Tector (38) shared an opening stand of 84 that was ended just before the midway point of the innings. It didn’t stall the Dubliners momentum as Harry Tector (30) joined De Freitas as the runs continued to flow against a largely toothless home side attack – the pair adding 65 in 34 balls for the second wicket. Balbriggan left-hander De Freitas hit seven fours and three sixes in a brilliant 53-ball 78, ended only by a direct hit run out from Jared Wilson. It was a rare highlight as Leinster finished on 193 for five, setting the Warriors a fairly formidable target. Barry McCarthy has been the stand-out bowler in the competition, and once again he proved tough to play, taking one for seven in a three-over spell, including the wicket of opener Sam Topping. After five overs, the hosts had limped to 15 for two, with the match effectively over. Andy Balbirnie played some nice shots in a top score of 26, but it was all about respectability. Harry Tector and teenage paceman Reuben Wilson each took three wickets, while Matthew Hollard took two in an over as the Warriors were bowled out for 114 in the 19th over. Lightning will claim the trophy three games early if they either beat Munster and claim a bonus point, or if the Northern Knights lose to the Warriors.

The Warriors recovered from 57 for 5 to post 186 for 7 against Munster Reds. Jake Egan was the star of the show as he hit an unbeaten 87 from 52 balls (8 fours, 4 sixes). He added 52 for the sixth wicket with Graham Hume (18), but the real fireworks came in the closing stages as he and David O'Sullivan (26*) added 51 in 26 balls - 43 alone coming in the last two overs. Swapnil Modgill (33) and Kian Hilton (20) started the chase well after the early fall of Stephen Doheny, but thereafter the wheels came off with Andy Mcbrine taking 3 for 7 and two apiece for Robbie Millar and Graham Hume in the 56-run win.

Leinster Lightning moved a step closer to wrapping up the T20 Trophy title a week early after they trounced an out of sorts Knights. Barry McCarthy's new ball burst had the NCU in early strife and they never really recovered despite 30s from Cade Carmichael and Ruhan Pretorius. There were wickets too for David Delany and Josh Little. Tim Tector made light work of a 123 target as he thumped 8 fours and 6 sixes in a 43-ball unbeaten 81, dominating stands of 53 with Chris De Freitas and an unbroken 74 with elder brother Harry (34*) as they galloped over the finishing line in the 13th over.
