Holders Newbuildings cruised to a comprehensive seven-wicket victory over St Johnston in their game at Foyleview, romping home with more than nine overs to spare. 

St Johnston never recovered from a sluggish middle order collapse after opener Mark Pollock produced a fluent 42 from 34 balls, striking four fours and three sixes. 

David Lapsley’s 28 was the only other meaningful contribution as the innings closed on 113 for 9. 

The Newbuildings attack shared the wickets around impressively. Skipper Ross Hunter led the way with 3 for 23, while Jamaican professional Peat Salmon and Jared Wilson both picked up two wickets apiece. 

The chase was virtually settled inside the powerplay as Mark Hanna blasted 51 from only 26 balls, hammering nine fours and two sixes. 

He shared an opening stand of 75 with Jason Dunn, whose brisk 20 included two maximums. 

Pollock claimed three late wickets, but Wilson quickly finished matters in style, launching three sixes in an unbeaten 27.

Bready inflicted more pain on Donemana with a four-wicket victory in their Tyrone derby clash. 

Donemana posted 139 for 6 from their 20 overs, but never fully managed to break free against a disciplined Bready attack. 

Awais Zafar gave the innings early momentum with 27 before Ray Curry top-scored with 42 from 39 balls, striking five boundaries. 

Curry and Levi Dougherty, who made 28, shared a stand of 66 to steady the innings, although regular wickets prevented the home side from building a truly imposing total. 

Charlie Downey was the standout bowler, showing excellent form since switching from Newbuildings with impressive figures of 3 for 21. 

Bready’s chase wobbled at 56 for 4, leaving the game finely poised, but Josh van Heerden swung the momentum decisively with a blistering 52 from just 29 balls that included four fours and three sixes. 

Downey then completed an outstanding all-round display, making 40 from 33 deliveries with two fours and two sixes to move Bready to the brink of victory before Adam Warnock and Nathan McCombe calmly finished the job with more than two overs remaining.

Coleraine chased superbly to claim a five-wicket victory over Fox Lodge in an entertaining clash. 

Fox Lodge posted a competitive 164 for 8 thanks largely to an excellent opening stand of 69 between Ali Doherty and Dean McCarter. 

Doherty raced to a boundary-filled 39 from just 27 balls, striking seven fours and a six, while McCarter anchored the innings superbly with an unbeaten 66 from 47 deliveries that included four fours and three maximums. 

Coleraine’s bowlers fought back well after the aggressive start, with Matty Smyth impressing again as he claimed 3 for 19 using his variations cleverly. 

New signing Jacob Logan-Wilson also continued his encouraging start since arriving from The Nedd, taking 2 for 23. 

The visitors kept pace with the asking rate throughout their reply. 

Louren Steenkamp blasted 51 from 33 balls and shared an opening stand of 56 with Patrick Carson before both fell to Swarnim Jha. Varun Chopra added 22, but the game still hung in the balance with 38 required from 23 balls. 

David Cooke then struck an unbeaten 35 from 20 balls, while Matthew Hutchinson’s explosive 22 from 11 deliveries guided Coleraine home with seven balls remaining - the pair clearing the ropes a combined five times in the closing stages.

Brigade collected the points in a rain-affected T20 game after moving comfortably ahead of the DLS target against Strabane. 

The Tyrone side never really managed to gain momentum after being asked to bat and closed on 118 for 7 from their 20 overs. 

Ryan Gallagher top-scored with a run-a-ball 33 that included five boundaries, while Mark McNulty provided late resistance with an unbeaten 20. 

Brigade’s bowlers kept a tight grip throughout, with Jamie Millar particularly impressive as he cleverly mixed slower balls and cutters to claim 3 for 22. 

David Barr also struck key blows, removing both Aaron Gillespie and professional Muhammad Mohsin on his way to figures of 2 for 22. 

Brigade’s reply had started perfectly before the rain arrived. Gavin Roulston blasted an unbeaten 21, while Scott Macbeth matched him with 20 not out, both hitting two fours and a six as Brigade raced to 41 without loss in five overs — 19 runs ahead on DLS when play was abandoned.
