Junaid Ali and Conor Brolly starred as Ardmore gave their chances of Premiership survival a real boost, plunging Eglinton right into the relegation dogfight mix. It looked an unlikely scenario as four wickets for Mark Averill had Ardmore in real trouble at 53 for 6. Junaid though was able to marshall the tail, hitting an even time 71 (7 fours, 3 sixes). Robbie Millar took two for five and the consensus was a total of 129 looked respectable but not enough. The hosts had a tricky spell to negotiate before tea and lost three wickets as the realisation dawned this might be not be straightforward. In ideal bowling conditions Conor Brolly took 5 for 28 and skipper Harry Zimmermann 3-20 as the Bleachgreen side won by 69 runs, and with it claimed the Shaun Bradley Memorial Trophy.
