Leaders Fox Lodge returned to the scene of their Eric Cooke triumph but were beaten by a Divan Postumus inspired Bonds Glen. The Foxies made 204 for 9 in a rain-abbreviated 46 overs with Jason Milligan making a half century, and 20s for Johnny Robinson, Luke Hayes and Gayan Maneeshan. There were three wickets apiece for Posthumus and Mark Robinson. It looked as if Fox Lodge would claim the points as the Bee Gees were at 112 for 5 in the chase with Johnny Haslett making 30. Enter stage left Posthumus who shepherded the late middle-order brilliantly on his way to an unbeaten 115 from 95 balls (15 fours, 5 sixes) to seal a three-wicket win.

St Johnston weren't able to take advantage of Fox Lodge's slip-up as Burndennett gained their first win of the season with a 115-run win over the Donegal side. The hosts racked up 350 for 9 with half centuries for Rahmatullah and Marty Mehaffey, as well as 40's for Suliman Safi, Eddie McGettigan and Corey Roulston - three wickets for Nathan Cole and Scott Devenney. Cole led the Saints chase with a hard-hit 67 (5 fours, 5 sixes), while there was also a fluent 54 from Barry Scott (5 fours, 5 sixes), but in truth they never threatened the mammoth target - all out for 235 in the 42nd over.

Killyclooney made it two wins in two days with an 80-run (DLS) win at Bonds Glen. Skipper Kenzie Hall returned to form with a brilliant 112 from 107 balls (10 fours, 7 sixes) as his side posted 249 for 8 in a slightly rain-curtailed innings of 47 overs. He received excellent support from Timmy Dougherty 65 (7 fours, 3 sixes) as the pair shared a fourth wicket stand of 115. Divan Posthumus (3-15) and Dharm Singh (3-28) each picked up three wickets. Matthew Campbell ripped into the Bee Gees top-order going on to take a five-wicket haul, with Killyclooney's march to the points only held up by a sixth wicket stand of 70 between Divan Posthumus - whose 62-ball 81 included 7 fours and 5 sixes - and Adam Thompson (20). There were two wickets apiece also for Aron Visser and Alfie Moan in a fine all-round effort by the Tyrone side.

St Johnston kept alive their promotion hopes with a 36-run win over Bonds Glen at The Boathole in a game reduced to 35 overs. St Johnston made 148 with Barry Scott making 31, David Lapsley 27 and Josh Handsadale 24 in a total of 148. The Bee Gees bowlers were all in the wickets with three apiece for Dharm Singh and Mark Robinson, and a brace apiece for Sam Haslett and Divan Posthumus. The chase began well with runs for John Long (39) and David Robinson (27) and at 85 for 1 in the 20th over it looked as if an way win was on the cards. The wheels though came off with three wickets each for Nathan Cole, Graeme McCarter and David Lapsley in a comeback win.

Killyclooney were the biggest winners of the day as they thumped Burndennett by 177 runs. Andrew Neil - who top-scored with 69 not out (5 fours, 7 sixes), shared a fourth wicket century stand with Tim Dougherty (38). Earlier overseas professional Aron Visser made 64 (7 fours, 2 sixes) putting on 115 for the second wicket with Alfie Moan (37), while there were runs too for Andy Nicholl (41) in a total of 283 for 5. Burndennett's reply never really got going with only Niall McDonnell (25) and Rahmatullah Sahaq (22) getting past 20 as they were bundled out for 106 - three wickets for Timmy Dougherty, and two apiece for Jason Wallace, Alfie Moan and Matthew Campbell in the maximum points win.

Glendermott got the better of Ballyspallen by 99 runs in a dress rehearsal ahead of next week's Sammy Jeffrey final at The Rectory. Ben Mills was the star of the show for Glendermott as he top-scored with 36 and followed it up with four wickets. There were runs too for Jason Lynch (34) and Ryan Nolan (33) in their 177 for 8 in a game reduced to 40 overs. Stuart Kennedy, Isaac Bird and Dylan McElwee all picked up two wickets. Ballyspallen's reply never got going as they were bundled out for 78 - Kyle Morrow making 20. Mills picked up for 4 for 6 and there were two wickets for Todd Killen in the comprehensive win that means Fox Lodge will be even stronger title favourites despite having the weekend off.

Fox Lodge extended their lead at the top of the table with a maximum point win over promotion rivals Ballyspallen. Batting first, Ballyspallen were bundled out for only 106 - Graham Kennedy top-scoring with 27 and Isaac Bird making 24. The wickets were shared with Jason Milligan taking three and two apiece for Levi Kerr and Adam Walker. The chase was all about in-form Ali Doherty, who hit 10 fours and 4 sixes in a 47-ball unbeaten 77, sharing stands of 51 with Charlie Simpson and an unbroken 56 in six overs with Gayan Maneeshan.

Glendermott made light work chasing 212 to win by 9 wickets at Burndennett. Craig Doherty clubbed 8 fours and 6 sixes in a top score of 84, sharing an opening stand of 146 with Ben Mills, whose unbeaten 77 included 8 fours and four sixes. Mills and Jake Montogmery ensured maximum points with a second wicket partnership of 57. The home side's 212 owed much to Rahmatullah's 57 (8 fours, 1 six), and a rapid 44 from Niall McDonnell (3 fours, 4 sixes). Ben Mills took four wickets and Curtis Ross three in a fine bowling effort.

Divan Posthumus was the difference in the sides as his hard-hit century propelled the Bee Gees to a 58-run win over Burndennett. The South African hit 107 from just 66 balls (11 fours, 6 sixes) in their total of 236. There were runs too for Johnny Haslett (31) and John Long (26). The chase was always lagging behind with no fewer than four players making 23 - Conan and Galvin Pollock, Paul Murphy and Martin Mehaffey - and one 22 - Andy Barr in a total of 178. Dharm Singh may be enduring a horror run with the bat, but he claimed three wickets, while there were two apiece for Kyle Moore and Stevie Dunn in a welcome win.

St Johnston kept alive their promotion hopes as they beat rivals Ballyspallen by 12 runs in a tight contest at Bridge Park. Josh Handsadale's 41 and 25 from David Anthony took the Saints to 138 - four wickets apiece for Stephen Kennedy and Isaac Bird. It didn't look enough but it was as skipper Anthony claimed six wickets and Michael Rankin two as the home side were bowled out for 127 - 20s for Isaac Bird, Graham Kennedy and James O'Brien.

Gayan Maneeshan's century and six wickets for Levi Kerr ensured Fox Lodge's place at the summit of the Championship. Ali Doherty hit five fours in a rapid 24 at the start of the Fox Lodge innings, but thereafter it was the Gayan show as he made 103 (9 fours, 4 sixes) out of the Foxies 182. Curtis Ross took three wickets, while there were two apiece for Ben Mills and Adam Boyd. Glendermott's reply was soon in tatters with only Craig Doherty's 22 offering anything, Kerr had the excellent analysis of 6 for 14 while Adam Walker picked up two wickets also in the maximum point win as the Rectory side were bundled out for 80.
