Waringstown and Instonians locked at summit as duo back up Cup wins with League triumphs
The Shaw's Bridge side again opted to bowl first in their clash with third-placed Lisburn, and once again their bowlers responded to the challenge by restricting them to 186 in an innings that never really got going. Ross Adair (20) and Nigel Jones (26) got starts, but only when Ben Calitz was in full flow did Lisburn get a foothold in the contest. The Irish passport-holding South African hit three sixes and fours in a 42-ball 47, adding 83 for the fourth wicket with skipper Neil Whitworth (36). However, Cian Robertson spun his left-arm magic, claiming four wickets for just 23 to put the home side firmly in control. Shane Dadswell (three for 30) and two wickets for Ben Rose reaffirmed the advantage, and a final total of 186 looked to be well short of challenging. Cade Carmichael had missed out in Saturday's Cup win, but the Irish international cashed in with a brilliant 77-ball 117 that included 15 fours and four maximums to break the back of the chase. His century means that he is the leading run-scorer in the League with 473 runs, just ahead of Jason van der Merwe. Carmichael added 112 with Rob McKinley (24), and that allowed Inst to coast to a six-wicket win in the 28th over – Dadswell bringing the game to a hasty conclusion by thumping three fours and a six in the final four balls. For Lisburn, a 2025 season that promised so much is in danger of falling apart, with their main hope for silverware now resting on the Irish Senior Cup where they travel to play Balbriggan in the last-four. Waringstown kept pace with Instonians thanks to an emphatic seven-wicket win at Cliftonville Academy in a match reduced to 25 overs. Abhishek Raut hit a 32-ball unbeaten 56 as the home side posted what looked a competitive 174 for five – Varun Chopra making a run-a-ball 36 (five fours) and Hayden Melly 27. The Topping brothers, though, made light work of the chase as they shared an opening stand of 125 in just 80 balls. Morgan hit eight fours and six sixes in a 56-ball 87, while younger brother Sam's 36-ball 53 included five fours and three maximums. John Glass claimed two wickets, but the seven-wicket win was sealed in the 19th over. Woodvale and North Down shared a dramatic tie in a see-saw game at Ballygomartin Road – a result that saw both happy to get something from the match in the end. Stevie Saul just missed out on a century, getting two from the final ball of the North Down innings to end on 99 – seven fours, four sixes – adding 127 for the fourth wicket with Mickey Copeland as they made 193 for five in 35 overs. Woodvale looked beaten as they slumped to 78 for six, but Carl Robinson's 51-ball 64 got them right back into contention as he added 104 in 17 overs for the seventh wicket with Zara Khan (49 not out). Some 17 were still needed from the last two overs when last man Anek Anil joined Khan, but they chipped away and the equation came down to three from the final ball. Anil managed to scramble two, ensuring a share of the spoils. North Down finished in the top six for the split, while Woodvale's two points meant they moved off the bottom above Templepatrick. Meanwhile, in the North West, there was a real shock as leaders Donemana lost by 42 runs to bottom side Bready in a rearranged game. David Rankin top-scored with 64 as Bready posted 194 for seven – four wickets for Jordan McGonigle, who came out of retirement to compensate for Andy McBrine's unavailability. Teenager Travis Faulkner took three wickets as the League leaders slumped to 62 for seven, and although they rallied with runs for brothers Billy (38) and DJ Dougherty (28), Faulkner returned to claim his fourth in a victory that lifted Bready off the bottom of the table.

Templepatrick and Woodvale share the spoils in dramatic last over thriller
Woodvale needed six off the last over bowled by Charles Swart, who picked up two wickets to leave them needing two off the last ball. Matthew Peak managed one before being run out to leave the scores level on 127. Ben Cave had cleared the ropes four times for the hosts in a hard-hit 33, while there was a first appearance of the season for Sri Lankan international Sandun Weerakkody, who made 19, with James Martin picking up three wickets. Ruhan Pretorius (33) and Ludwig Kaestner (26) had added 64 for the second wicket to put Woodvale on top before the late drama. The Instonians bandwagon rolls on with Neil Rock once again in the runs in their victory over Muckamore. 'Pebbles' thumped 11 fours and four sixes in a 31-ball 78, giving another reminder to Ireland chief of selectors Andrew White – who happened to be batting at the other end! The pair shared a fourth wicket stand of 77 in 33 balls, with White striking seven boundaries in a quickfire 52 as Inst posted 203 for seven. Muckamore were never in contention as early wickets for Shane Dadswell and James Magee all but ended the game. Jude Keates hit a defiant half century, but it was too little too late as the Shaw's Bridge side closed out a 58-run win. Waringstown lost again, this time to a very much in-form CIYMS by 48 runs. Herman Rolfes top-scored for the Belmont side with 65 from 42 balls (seven fours, two sixes) adding 89 in eight overs with skipper John Matchett, who scored a rapid 44. There were runs too for Chris Dougherty (31) and Jake Egan (21) in a total of 191 for six. Matchett then took three wickets as Waringstown were bowled out for 143 – Adam Dennison hitting four sixes in a counterattacking 37. In the North West, there were wins for Bready, Brigade, Newbuildings – for whom Jason Dunn and Johnny Thompson shared an opening stand of 149 – Coleraine, Eglinton, Killyclooney, and Ballyspallen – who chased 200 to beat Ardmore in a remarkable game. Junaid Ali had scored 101 for the Bleachgreen side, but Isaac Bird's 51-ball 102 set up the Bridge Park side for a stunning seven-wicket victory in the 18th over.

Waringstown savour double glory as men and women's sides both seal victories
Chasing 126, the pair shared a second wicket partnership of 118 in 69 balls with Topping clearing the ropes five times in an unbeaten 60 from only 32 balls, while McCollum's 57 from 40 deliveries included nine fours and one maximum. Irish international McCollum and Saturday's centurion Adam Dennison fell in the space of four balls to Carl Robinson (two for 12), but Topping finished with a six in the 14th over to move his side to third in the table. Harry Warke top-scored for Woodvale with a hard-hit 44 (eight fours, one six) before falling to Daniel van der Merwe (three for 19), while Tom Mayes (two for 18) claimed the big wicket of Ruhan Pretorius. That completed a fine day for Waringstown as their Women's side went top of the Premiership with a six-wicket win over Lisburn. Rebecca Lowe made 44 for Lisburn as she and Sarah McCallan (29) shared a second wicket stand of 83. But Penny Speer took four wickets as they collapsed to 105 all out, with Naomi Matthews claiming three scalps and Irish international Cara Murray two. The chase was a routine one with Amy Caulfield and Abbi Harrison each making 37 as they added 60 in seven overs to win in the 12th over. Holywood proved too strong for Muckamore as Eva Cupitt made 31 in the home side's 101 for six, and that was 61 too many for the Moylena team as three wickets apiece for Madison Landman and Nina Kerr bundled them out for 40. CSNI made it a three-way tie at the top as they beat North Down by 32 runs thanks to 34 from Sarah Rountree and two wickets apiece from Eva Wilson and Emily Calvert.
