Waringstown had little trouble accounting for North Down at The Lawn, running out 10-wickets winners.

The Comber side were restricted to 64 for 6 with Keziah Dines top-scoring with 20, and Evey Keenan (16). Naomi Matthews (4-7) starred with the ball for the hosts.

The chase was a routine one as New Zealand U19 international Abigail Gerken hit six boundaries in an unbeaten 34, sharing an opening stand of 65 with Amy Caulfield (12*).

Holywood travelled to Lisburn and came away with a ten-wickets win thanks to a dominant all-round display.

The Wallace Park side managed just 61 with Sophie Orr (18) and Cherry Geddam (13) their double figures contributors. South African born Netherlands international Madison Landsman took 3 for 6 with her leg breaks, while there were two wickets each for Tamsin Hope - the Hampshire pathways player who attends Rockport School looks a real prospect at just 13 - and Erin Bond.

The modest target was knocked off with minimum fuss, as Lara Maritz hit 5 fours and a six in her unbeaten 35, sharing an opening stand of 63 with Eva Cupitt (16*) as the runs were knocked off in just 7.3 overs.

CSNI flexed their muscles with an entertaining 52-run win over Muckamore at Stormont. Jemma Gillan was the batting hero for CSNI as she hit six boundaries in an unbeaten 60-ball 69.

There were runs too for Sarah Rountree (19) and Emma Kennedy (17*) in a total of 177 for 6.

Ulster Hockey and NCU pathways players Ella Naylor kept the chase interesting with a 29-ball 53 (9 fours, 1 six), but her dismissal ended their faint hopes. Eva Wilson (3-19) and Emma Kennedy (2-18) taking a combined five wickets.
