Vijay Adhikari had hit a 28-ball 44 in the CS total of 121 that never looked enough.
Phoenix made it four wins in a row against Merrion as they continue to benefit from the mental scars inflicted in the Irish Senior Cup win last year.

Malahide travelled to Balbriggan and effectively had the game won in the first ten overs as the home side slumped to 51 for seven. Farooq Nasr (30) and Andrew Darroch (22) staged a mini-recovery, but 117 was never likely to trouble the visitors. It's been great to see Davy O'Halloran back in action and among the wickets as he picked up three, while there were two apiece for Jeremy Martins, Andrew Sheridan and Robbie Foulkes. The chase was all about Foulkes - one of the stars of the first half of the Leinster season - who hit 11 fours and a maximum in a 51-ball 72, dominating a match-defining third wicket stand of 71 with Jeremy Martins (15) as the six wicket win was sealed in the 17th over.

David Vincent and Jamie Forbes each took two wickets in the chase that saw Terenure never threaten the target, ending on 105 for six with Sagar Joshi making 42 and Donal Lynch 25.
Leinster ran out convincing 90-run winners against a Pembroke side that were missing the majority of their international players.
