The Bonds Glen duo of Adam Thompson and Mark Robinson were the heroes for the North West as they began their Under 15 interprovincial series with a two-wicket win over the NCU in a game reduced to 45 overs by overnight rain at Newbuildings. 

Chasing 218, the NW looked beaten when they were reduced to 157 for 8, despite fine knocks from Ben Campbell (57) and Ryan McClintock (31). However, the pair added an unbroken 62 in 45 balls for the 9th wicket to seal a superb win for Mark Olphert and Barry Scott's squad. 

Thompson, son of RT, showed his power in his 40 from 38 balls (3 fours, 2 sixes), while team-mate Robinson hit five boundaries in his 30 not out. 

Earlier, the NCU's total of 217 for 6 was based around a hard-hit unbeaten 56 from Zayan Malik that included four sixes, while his Waringstown team-mate Robbie McCollam hit 10 fours in his run-a-ball 47, and skipper Marco Bates made 35. 

The action now moves South, with all four participating teams playing in Munster next week.

U15 Girls Interpro
North West beat NCU by 45 runs
North West 119 (39.1 overs, 50 extras , A Macdonald 3-7, Olivia Morrow 2-12, Rebecca Lowe 2-17)
NCU 74 (21.3 overs; 26 extras, Lucy Humphreys 13*; Tori Mitchell 3-12, Mansi Bhavsar 3-22, Connie Block 2-14)

Action from the game at Bready (CricketEurope)

The North West made it an Under-15 interpro double as they beat their NCU counterparts by 45 runs in the girls' game at Bready. 

The bowlers were on top throughout, with McDonald taking 3 for 7, and two wickets apiece for Olivia Morrow and Rebecca Lowe. 

The concession of 50 extras was to prove a crucial factor in what was a low scoring game. 

The NW bowlers were more accurate and with the Bready duo of Mansi Bhavsar (3-22) and Tori Mitchell (3-12) each taking three wicketS, plus two for Coleraine's Connie Block, the NCU were bowled out for 74. Lucy Humphreys (13*) was the top scorer for the NCU. 

The series continues next week in the North West, when the two sides will be joined by two from the Leinster region.
