Bangor 151-2 (22.5 overs; B Harrison 64*, M Hutchinson 41*, S McMillan 29) (Delayed start - match reduced to 28 overs.)
Bangor continued their perfect start to the Section One campaign with an emphatic eight-wicket victory over Derriaghy in a rain-reduced 28-over contest at Upritchard Park on Saturday. After a delayed start, Derriaghy posted 150-7 from their allotted overs. Half-century partnerships provided the backbone of the innings, with Ross Bailey (26) and Matt Scoble (27) adding useful runs for the second wicket before Jonathan Bell top-scored with 34 as he and Craig Lewis (26) then shared another important stand for the fourth wicket. Chris Pyper (2-23) and Brodie Harrison (2-29) were Bangor’s most successful bowlers. Bangor’s chase was built on a solid platform from Sam McMillan, whose 29 included three boundaries. The hosts then took complete control through an unbroken third-wicket partnership of 94 between Harrison and Mark Hutchinson. Harrison continued his remarkable form - 423 runs at 105.60 - with a blistering 64 not out from just 34 balls, striking three fours and five sixes, while Hutchinson finished unbeaten on 41 as Bangor reached 151-2 in 22.5 overs to make it four wins from four and sit proudly at the top of Section One.

Armagh claimed their second win of the season with an impressive eight-wicket DLS victory over Donacloney Mill in a rain-affected contest at The Mall. After a delayed start and multiple reductions in overs, Donacloney Mill posted 147-8 from 38 overs. Opener Shane Warren struck six fours in a fluent 33, while overseas player Lachy Aitken continued his excellent season with a top score of 34, taking his tally beyond 400 runs for the campaign. Aaron Wright starred with the ball, returning outstanding figures of 4-23, while Luan Liebenberg claimed 2-28. Set a revised target of 108 from 23 overs, Armagh suffered early setbacks as Sam Wilson and Jamie Rogers departed cheaply. However, Wright and Michael Villiers took complete control, sharing an unbroken third-wicket stand of 88.

A win for Saintfield tonight would have seen them into the semi-finals at the expense of Lurgan but two wickets in Alex Ogle's final over including that of Werner Brand stifled the Saintfield chase.

Armagh duo of Harry Doyle and Sam Wilson (Gareth McCarter)
At Queensway, Armagh eased to an eight-wicket victory over Derriaghy. The hosts were bowled out for 118 in 17.5 overs despite Aaron Kinnin’s 31, as Armagh’s bowlers dominated proceedings. Harry Doyle claimed 4 for 30, while Luan Liebenberg ripped through the middle order with remarkable figures of 3 for 4. Sam Wilson also impressed with 2 for 25.

Brodie Harrison (JP)
In Group A, Bangor secured a convincing nine-wicket win over Cooke Collegians at Upritchard Park. Cooke struggled to build momentum against a disciplined Bangor attack and closed on 117 for 7. Reneesh Hassanar top-scored with 25 not out, while John Gibbons and Chander Shekhar each made useful contributions in the twenties. Brodie Harrison was the standout bowler with superb figures of 3 for 12, while William Simpson backed him up with 2 for 17. Bangor’s reply was calm and controlled. Former New Zealand international Ian Butler anchored the chase with an unbeaten 54 from 48 balls, peppering the boundary with eight fours and a six. Sam McMillan helped provide a solid platform in an opening stand of 42 before Harrison completed an excellent all-round performance by smashing 48 not out from just 25 deliveries, clearing the ropes three times. The unbroken second wicket stand of 78 carried Bangor comfortably to their target with nearly six overs to spare.
Group B: Lurgan beat Donacloney Mill by 10 wickets.
Pollock Park, 14 May.

Stephen Johnston scored a half century for Lurgan (Lurgan CC)
Lurgan produced the most emphatic result of the night in the NCU T20 Trophy as they demolished Donacloney Mill by ten wickets at Pollock Park. Donacloney Mill never recovered from a disciplined Lurgan bowling display that restricted them to 105 for 8 from their 20 overs. Lachy Aitken battled hard for 29, but wickets fell regularly with Ivan Sinovich starring through figures of 3 for 15, while Liam Doddrell chipped in with 2 for 20. Any hopes of defending the modest total disappeared in a breathtaking opening stand between skipper Stephen Johnston and Iqbal Khan. Johnston blasted an unbeaten 56 from just 26 balls, striking six fours and three sixes in a commanding display of power-hitting. Khan provided the perfect foil with 39 not out from 34 deliveries, including five fours and two sixes, as the pair raced to victory in only 8.2 overs without losing a wicket.
Carrickfergus beat Cregagh by 34 runs.
Middle Road, 13 May.

A fine all-round effort by Atish Varape inspired Carrick to a 34-run win at home to Cregagh. The overseas professional top-scored with 60 in a home side total of 181 for 4, then took two wickets to restrict the visitors to 147 for 4, despite the best efforts of Aaron Johnston (49 not out).
Group B: Armagh beat Saintfield by 32 runs (DLS).
The Mall, 7 May.
Armagh 154-5 (20 overs; M Steenson 31, L Liebenberg 27, J Rogers 26, S Wilson 23; W Brand 3-22, E Hanna 2-21) Saintfield 71-5 (13 overs; C McGuire 26; B Mackey 2-7)
A solid batting effort by Armagh set them up for a 32-run (DLS) win over Saintfield at The Mall. Matthew Steenson top-scored with 31, while there were runs too for Luan Liebenberg (27), Jamie Rogers (26), and Sam Wilson (23). Werner Brand (3-22) and Ethan Hanna (2-21) were the pick of the Saints bowlers. Liebenberg accounted for fellow South African countryman Brand in the first over of the chase, and Saintfield never recovered. Christy McGuire made a run-a-ball 26 as they reached 71 for 5 in 13 overs when play was halted.
Group A: Cooke Collegians lost to Templepatrick by 122 runs.
Pirrie Park, 7 May.
Templepatrick 190-5 (20 overs; B Cave 70, C Deelman 35, L Cave 29; A Kerr 2-31) Cooke Collegians 68 (13.5 overs; S Henderson 2-4, B McCallan 2-8, F McCarthy 2-13, C Courtney 2-21)
Templepatrick beat Cooke Collegians by 122 runs thanks primarily to a century opening stand between the Caves. Ben smashed 5 fours and 6 sixes in his 70 from just 37 balls, dominating an opening stand of 107 with his brother Levi, who made 29. Curtley Deelman continued the fun with a hard-hot 35 as Templepatrick finished on 190 for 5 - Andrew Kerr taking two wickets. CC's reply was soon in tatters with 24 extras top scoring along with number 11 Chander Shekhar (10) as they were bundled out for 68. The wickets were shared with two each for Fintan McCarthy, Bryn McCallan, Shane Henderson, and Connor Courtney.
Group A: Cregagh lost to Bangor by 9 wickets.
Cregagh Memorial, 7 May.
Cregagh 210-6 (20 overs; P Davison 84, A Beattie 34, A Johnston 30; G Prince 2-39, C Pyper 2-54) Bangor 211-1 (18.3 overs; S Yeates 83*, S McMillan 70, B Harrison 35*)
Bangor's run scorers tonight
Bangor's quest to defend their T20 Trophy title started successfully as they chased down Cregagh's 210 to win by 9 wickets. Cregagh's new signing Peter Davison showed his all-round capability as he top-scored with 84 from 54 balls (6 fours, 5 sixes) as he added 73 for the third wicket with Aaron Johnston (30). Adam Beattie joined in the fun as he cleared the ropes three times in a 12-ball 34 as the hosts posted 201 for 6 - two wickets apiece for George Prince and Chris Pyper. Bangor openers Sam McMillan and Seb Yeates attacked the chase with relish, as the young pair put on 164 in 15 overs to break the back of the target. McMillan, who scored a century at the weekend - was the more aggressive as he hit 70 from 38 balls (7 fours, 2 sixes). Davison broke the stand but any thoughts of a late rally were soon dispelled by Yeates and Brodie Harrison who knocked off the 47 required with 9 balls to spare. Yeates ended top scorer with an unbeaten 73 (7 fours, 2 sixes), while Harrison's 12-ball 35 not out (4 fours, 2 sixes) ensured an ultimately stress-free nine-wicket victory.
Group B: Donacloney Mill lost to Derriaghy by 24 runs.
Factory Ground, 8 May.
Derriaghy 189-3 (20 overs; M Scoble 79*, C Lewis 72; A Kennedy 2-26) Donacloney Mill 165-7 (20 overs; L Aitken 71, S Warren 21;M Coburn 2-37, D Scott 2-37)
Matt Scoble and Craig Lewis were in the runs again as Derriaghy beat Donacloney Mill by 24 runs at the Factory Ground. The pair shared a third wicket stand of 116 in 12 overs with overseas professional Scoble making an unbeaten 79 from 52 balls (7 fours, 4 sixes), while the big hitting Lewis thumped 6 sixes and 3 fours in his 72 from 42 deliveries. The pair's heroics propelled the Queensway side to 189 for 3 - two wickets for Aaron Kennedy. The hosts made a brave fist of the chase thanks primarily to Lachy Aitken's 71 (11 fours, 1 six), but they eventually fell 24-runs adrift, with Mark Coburn and David Scott each taking two wickets.
