Stephen Doheny (CricketEurope)

Merrion kept the pressure on Pembroke at the top of the Premiership table with an impressive 10-wicket win in a contest ultimately reduced to 24 overs.

The in-form Doheny scored exactly 100, hitting 8 fours and 6 sixes in his 62-ball innings. He and Swapnil Modgill, who was no slouch himself in his 39-ball 58 not out (7 fours, 2 sixes) knocked off the 166 target in just the 17th over.

David Vincent (42) top scored for the visitors in their 153 for 6, with runs too for David Delany (35) and Mitchell Thompson (30). Overseas professional Peter Francis took 3 for 30, while Modgill completed a fine all-round effort by taking 2-23.

Phoenix v Leinster. Match abandoned.
Phoenix 31/1 (4.5 overs; Levon Shields 15*)

A frustrating day for both sides as after a considerable delay, they had hoped to play a 22-overs match. However, their efforts were thwarted after the rain returned with just 4.5 overs played.
