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. Wright finished unbeaten on 47 and Villiers 39 not out, each striking six boundaries, as Armagh completed the win in the 20th over.
