Four wickets in eight deliveries from Luca Olivier saw the Boys in Green tumble from 61-1 to 66-5 with Gethin Kelleher, Ted Hasler and Felix McMillan all falling without scoring as Ireland set about chasing what looked like a modest total from NWU. It was left to Captain Sidarth Biju and Adil Naizam to steady the ship with an 80 run sixth wicket partnership, Biju going on to complete his personal half-century before finishing the game with a boundary off the University's ninth bowler's fifth delivery.

Scotland won the Celtic Cup series as Ireland Under-17s’ difficult week continued with a seven-wicket defeat by Scotland after their total of 242 proved insufficient. Sidharth Biju top-scored with 58, while Peter Le Roux made 47, Ayan Ullah 44 and Aadil Naizam 31. Arnav Saraswat claimed four for 26 as Ireland were bowled out from the final delivery. Scotland controlled the chase through Munro Cubbon’s 92 and Marcus O’Kennedy’s 42. Oliver Pillinger then finished unbeaten on 51, with James Stronach adding 14 not out, as the hosts reached their target in the 43rd over. Ardmore's Bobby Brolly took two wickets.
