Amy Hunter was in the runs yet again as the Dragons started their quest for a cup double with a ten-run win over the Typhoons at Bready in a contest reduced to 15 overs.
The Belfast teenager hit 14 fours and a six in an unbeaten 94, sharing an unbroken third wicket stand of 132 with Waringstown's Abbi Harrison (31*), helping the hosts recover from 6 for 2 to post 138 for two.
Alana Dalzell struck two early blows in the chase, and despite the best efforts of Laura Delany who made a 33-ball unbeaten 57 (6 fours, 2 sixes) they fell ten short.
Leah Paul made a breezy 31 as she and Delany added 68 for the fourth wicket.
The Typhoons were blown away at Bready in the afternoon game in a one-sided contest.
Laura Delany's 30 was the best of a modest 118 for seven, while Annabel Squires (25*) and Zara Craig (22) added 43 for the seventh wicket.
Sophie MacMahon and Ava Canning were the pick of the bowlers with two wickets apiece.
The chase was effectively over inside the powerplay as Gaby Lewis (33) and Louise Little (32) set about the bowlers.
Eimear Richardson (28*) continued the assault as the eight wicket win was sealed with almost eight overs to spare.
