Laurelvale 171/2 (29 overs: Adnan Malik 93*, Mark Thornbury 45)

Laurelvale fought back strongly to inflict an 8-wicket defeat on Derriaghy.

The Queensway side had made a strong start through Ryan Beckett - who hit 7 fours in his 58 - and Ross Bailey (28), but from 79 for 1 they lost their way to 170 all out, not helped by Renco Adams' second-ball dismissal.

There were three wickets apiece for Babar Khan, David Sinton, and Jack Burns.

The chase was straightforward, as Adnan Malik and Mark Thornbury put on 96 for the first wicket.

Thornbury hit 7 fours in his 75, while Malik's 76-ball unbeaten 93 included 7 fours and 6 sixes - the 8-wicket win achieved with 11 overs to spare.

Atish Varape was in the runs yet again (CricketEurope)

Section One's leading run-scorer Atish Varape (872) recorded his fourth century of the season as he and Aaron Kennedy (103) piled on the runs at Cregagh.

Varape stroked 17 boundaries in his 118, sharing a second wicket partnership of 143 with Kennedy (6 fours, 4 sixes).

A total of 303 for 5 was always going to be imposing and even more so as the hosts slipped to 23 for 5 in the reply,

Bob Moore made an even-time 54 (6 fours, 2 sixes) adding 90 for the sixth wicket with Craig Boultwood (44*), but they ended 159 runs adrift on 144 - four wickets for Aaron Kennedy and two each for Timmy McClure and Mark Hanna.
