It was a similar story at Sydney Parade where Pembroke beat Rush by 59 runs thanks to a century opening stand. Irish internationals past and present Mary Waldron (60) and Sarah Forbes (59)  both hit seven boundaries in an opening stand of 128 that set Pembroke on their way to a total of 172 for 3. Rush openers Ocean bartlett and Aoife Beggs both made 25 in the chase as they put on 49, but the Rush reply petered out thereafter. There were two wickets apiece for Anna Beale, Kimli McDonald and Izzy McLean in the comfortable win.
