The North West Warriors ended their season on a winning note as they dashed Munster Reds hopes of a 50-overs Cup triumph with a 68-run win at Bready.

Batting first the hosts were in trouble at 94 for 5 after 20 overs with Mike Frost (3-44) the pick of the bowlers.

However a 6th wicket stand of 121 in the next 20 overs between Scott Macbeth and Graham Hume transformed the momentum of the innings.

Macbeth hit 6 fours and 3 sixes in an even time 75, while Hume's unbeaten 79 included 7 fours and one maximum.

There were late runs too for Marcello Piedt (22) and Cameron Melly (19) in a total of 292 for 8.

Munster made their intentions clear from the outset as they seemed determined to gain the bonus point win (inside 40 overs) that would take them top and give them a shout of the crown.

Swapnil Modgill (28) and in particular PJ Moor raced out of the traps in an opening stand of 76 in 7 overs.

Moor played one of the best innings seen in the tournament's 11-years.

He struck 10 sixes and 10 fours in a 90-ball 130 to take Munster to 191 for 2 in the 29th and well on course for victory.

However, when Moor became the first wicket for Scott Macbeth the wheels came off in spectacular fashion with 8 wickets tumbling for 33 runs - six of them to Macbeth.

An incredible turnaround which means that Northern Knights stay top of the table, but can be overhauled by Leinster Lightning if they can get a convincing win with a bonus point at Oak Hill next week.
