Lisburn’s can still have a say in the destination of the league title with their last two games against Waringstown and Instonians but it will not be coming to Wallace Park after this surprise six wickets defeat by North Down. The bigger surprise was the presence of West Indian Test player Jermaine Blackwood as a one-off professional for the Comber side – replacing the injured Mickey Copeland. He proved the match-winner, dismissing Nigel Jones and Neil Whitworth in his eight overs and then hitting the winning runs to also bring up his half-century off 83 balls. Top scorer was captain Tyron Koen who hit 63 in a fourth wicket stand of 109 with Blackwood. Kian Hilton was the other surprise of the game, the regular North Down wicket-keeper taking five wickets for 47.
