Liam Blackford's unbeaten 137 propelled The Hills to a 70-run win over Knockharley in a high scoring game at The Vineyard. 

The former Australian U19 international showcased his class as he hit 14 fours and 3 sixes in a wonderful knock, sharing stands of 86 with Muzamil Sherzad (60) and 159 for the fourth with Joe Fletcher (43). 

Ehtesham Ahmed took three wickets but the hosts still racked up an imposing 286 for 5. 

Knockharley made a brave fist of the chase with Kashif Ali's half century (5 fours, 3 sixes), 31 from Don Retty and 30 apiece from Mubeen Ali and Syed Medhi all doing well. 

The Hills attack all stuck to their task well with two wickets apiece for Tomas Rooney-Murphy 2-28, Febin Manoj 2-29, Stefano Di Bartolomeo 2-33, and Mohammed Sherzad 2-36 as the visitors ended on 216 for 9.

Moize Haider thumped 10 fours and 7 sixes in a whirlwind 77-ball 95 as North Kildare made light work of a Cork Harlequins target of 222 at The Maws. 

Haider shared a second wicket stand of 151 in 20 overs with Yash Kalasannavar, whose boundary laden 58 included 11 fours. Josh Uddin's unbeaten 27 ensured the five-wicket win was completed in the 31st over. 

Earlier Uddin had picked up three wickets as the Munster side made 222 - Callum Stevenson (37), Dineth Sumasinghe (34), Adam Hickey (32) and Ru Jones (25) all getting starts without really going on.

A brilliant century from Dinesh Anthony was the backbone of Adamstown's 37-run win at Terenure. 

Dinesh clubbed 12 fours and two sixes in his 106, adding 134 for the fifth wicket with Shreyas Rajesh (40). Sidharth Biju had got the innings off to a fast start with 1 52-ball 57 that had 10 fours. Ben Dillon and Kripesh Shetty each took three wickets, but a total of 277 for 8 was always going to be challenging. 

To their credit Terenure gave it a right go thanks primarily to an unbeaten 118 from skipper Henry Dall (12 fours, 3 sixes), but support was lacking aside from Mick Cotter's 22 as they ended on 240 - three wickets for Aryan Adelkar (3-11).
