Over 700 runs were scored at the Factory Ground as leaders Donacloney Mill lost by 46 runs to Derriaghy. Ryan Beckett made 113 from 106 balls (14 fours, 3 sixes), sharing stands of 112 with David Scott (70), 95 with Ben Kenny (43), and 81 with Renco Adams (66) as they piled up for 376 for 6. It looked as if it wouldn't be enough as Judd Markham thumped a 70-ball 121 (14 fours, 7 sixes) as he and Shane Warren (44) added 170 in 17 overs. Jonathan Bell got the breakthrough, while Ben Kenny's four wickets proved crucial in eventually sealing the win.

Jaydee Oliver top-scored with 92 (11 fours) sharing a second wicket stand of 139 with Jake Collingwood (77) as they made 272 for 5. Carrick were always behind the rate and only got relatively close thanks to a wonderful 153 from skipper CJ van der Walt whose 113-ball knock (15 fours, 6 sixes) rescued them from 124 for 7 to 250. Paul Stafford and Nithin Babu each took three wickets, while there was two for Darwish Nazari.

Earlier, Johnny Parker's 76 had helped Bangor to 238 for 8.
