Erin Bond receives the Player of the Match award from Michael Humphreys (CricketEurope)

Lisburn 50-6 at the half way stage but that represented a recovery from a disastrous 15-6 with Erin Bond and Lara Maritz ripping through the host's top order. Things got no better for Lisburn after the drinks break as Alex Atkinson claimed three wickets in two overs. Beth Kennedy and Extras (17) the only double figure contributions in a disappointing batting display. In the briefest of chases Netherlands International Madison Landsman plundered an unbeaten 45 from just 17 balls (3x4, 4x6) leaving Irish International Lara Maritz a spectator with just a single to her name off her only delivery faced.

Semi-Final: Waringstown beat CSNI by 10 wickets

The Lawn, 20 July.

CSNI 126-9 (30 overs: E Calvert 30*, K West 16, J Gillan 15, E Carville 15, S Thomas 13; N Matthews 3-26, R Harrison 2-16, P Speer 2-26)

Waringstown 127-0 (18.4 overs: A Harrison 75*, A Caulfield 31*)

POTM Abbi Harrison collects her award from Alan Waite (Waringstown CC)

Lots of starts in the CSNI order but only Emily Calvert able to pass 20. Tight bowling from the hosts with wickets shared, Naomi Matthews with three and Rachel Harrison and Penny Speer two each. Waringstown very much in control in the chase, 90 without loss at the drinks break, Abbi Harrison with a better than a run-a-ball half century. And in the end an emphatic win for the hosts who will meet Holywood in the Final on home turf in two weeks time.
