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.
