The Adair brothers, back together in a full-strength Lisburn side, were the feature acts in their crushing 144 runs win over Muckamore. 

Mark Adair returned to the side in sensational batting form, hitting 88 from 47 balls in an innings which included 11 sixes. With captain Neil Whitworth scoring 98 (10 fours and three sixes) the home side powered to 356 for seven. 

Amid the mayhem, Neil Gill and Jason van der Merwe bowled their 20 overs for just 71 as the other 30 overs disappeared for 276. 

Ross Adair then produced career best figures of seven for 32 in 7.2 overs, as the visitors crashed from 151 for two to 212 all out to give Lisburn their first win over Muckamore in three attempts after losing last year's Challenge Cup final and this year's first League game.

Waringstown wasted no time in winning their first post-split game, needing barely 18 overs to pass North Down’s 156 at Comber. 

Daniel van der Merwe thumped 87 from just 36 balls with 12 fours and four sixes and although he was third out with the scores tied, Tom Mayes hit the winning boundary next ball. 

Van der Merwe put on 121 for the second wicket with Sam Topping who was out for 50. 

Ross Allen was Waringstown’s most successful bowler with four wickets, including top scorer Tyron Koen for 35. 

Craig Young made his return for North Down, bowling six wicketless overs for 32.

Instonians kept pace with Waringstown at the top of the Premier League with an emphatic eight wickets victory over CIYMS at Belmont. 

In the absence of Ben Rose, 14-year-old David Agnew was brought in and claimed the match ball with figures of five for 37 as the home side were bowled out for 161 inside 44 overs. 

Chris Dougherty, top scorer with 49, was Agnew’s first wicket and he took the last three in the space of 10 balls for just four runs. 

Cade Carmichael dominated the first two partnerships which put on 75 before Neil Rock took over, scoring 75 of the last 92 runs, from just 26 balls with five fours and eight sixes, the last three in succession to win the match in the 23rd over.

Woodvale eased their relegation worries with a huge 111 runs win over Civil Service North at Ballygomartin Road. 

Star of the show was Ashwin Shetty who followed up his 52 off 30 balls, at No 8, (three fours, four sixes) with figures of five for 42. 

Ludwig Kaestner top scored in the the home side’s 279 for nine, with 84 (seven fours, four sixes). 

It was another very disappointing batting display from CSN with Adam Leckey’s 44 the only score over 20 as they were bowled out for 168 in the 38th over.

Cliftonville Academy left Templepatrick firmly rooted to the bottom of the Premier League after a five wickets victory at the Castle Grounds. 

Professional Abhishek Raut took his side to victory with more than 10 overs to spare with 112 not out (13 fours and two sixes). 

Only Jared Wilson gave him any meaningful support, 33 in a fifth wicket stand of 106 which the Indian dominated. 

He was also the best bowler on view, finishing with four for 40, including the wickets of top scorer Charlie Swart for 78 and opposite number Sandun Weerakkody for 65 in the visitors 217.
