A devastating bowling spell by Ireland international Graham Hume ensured a comfortable passage into the Challenge Cup quarter-finals for Waringstown, and Lisburn’s first 50-over defeat of the season.

Hume, bowling his 10 overs straight through, took six for 20 as the home side collapsed to 54 for seven, with only David Millar of Lisburn’s top six getting into double figures.

Late runs from Ewan Wilson and Mike McComish got Lisburn into three figures but Callum Atkinson was immediately caught behind to end the innings after 39 overs, and give Ross Allen his second wicket.He conceded just six runs in 35 balls.

With rain during the interval, the Waringstown target was revised to 95 off 42 overs, and Steve Stolk wasted no time in getting the runs, hitting 71 off 32 balls, with three fours and eight sixes. Adam Dennison survived a straightforward chance at point so it was a 10 wickets win in less than eight overs.

Instonians, last year’s beaten finalists, eased past Templepatrick, shuffling their batting order after captain Nikolai Smith surprisingly chose to bat first.

Matthew Humphreys opened but was out for three, David Agnew at No 3 hit 34 in a third wicket partnership dominated by Sully Gould who crashed 37 off 19 balls, with five fours and two sixes.

Andrew White, survived a huge lbw shout to top score with 80 (11 fours and a six) and Shane Dadswell, coming in at No 8, ensured a big finish with an unbeaten 51 from 24 balls, including two fours and six sixes.

The third rain interruption ended the innings after 42 overs and Templepatrick’s target was 277. But when the rain arrived again, the visitors were 66 for six and although the teams got back on the field, with only five overs lost, the new target of 273 was out of sight.

George Craigan wrapped up the tail, finishing with four for 14 from his four overs.

Lurgan's impressive season continued as they secured progression to the next round with a seven-wicket victory over Cregagh at Pollock Park.

A disciplined bowling performance laid the foundations for success, with Liam Dodrell and Iqbal Khan claiming three wickets apiece as Cregagh were dismissed for 135 in 42.5 overs.

Alastair Watt top-scored with 37, but Lurgan's attack kept the scoring in check throughout the innings.

The chase proved a routine affair as openers Jack Harrison and Jaydee Oliver dominated proceedings with a partnership of 103. Harrison struck 30, including four fours and a six, before Oliver continued the charge with a superb 62 from just 60 deliveries, hitting nine fours and two sixes.

Captain Stephen Johnston then finished the job in style with an unbeaten 18 from only nine balls as Lurgan reached their target in just the 19th over.

The weather had the final say at Comber as North Down's  clash with CI was abandoned, forcing the sides to meet again in a replay.

After rain delays reduced the contest to 48 overs per side, CI posted a competitive 220-7 from 44.4 overs before further interruptions ended any chance of a result.

Chris Dougherty anchored the innings with a fluent 50, striking eight fours, while Sathish Suresh provided a powerful finish with an unbeaten 52 that included four fours and three sixes.

Carson McCullough made a valuable 38 and Jack Beattie contributed an important 25 as CI built a strong total. For North Down, Jacob McClure-Dalzell and Craig Young claimed two wickets each.

However, with North Down unable to begin their reply, the weather emerged the only winner.

CSNI and Woodvale fell victim to the weather after only 15 overs at Stormont, forcing the teams into a replay.

CSNI had reached 61-2 when conditions brought proceedings to an early end.

Woodvale made the early breakthroughs thanks to Ruhan Pretorius, who struck twice in an impressive spell of 2-12. He removed both James West and Adam Leckey to leave CSNI under pressure.

However, opener Marc Ellison helped steady the innings with an unbeaten 19, while Jake Collingwood was alongside him on 17 not out when the abandonment was confirmed.

The match also marked the debut of New Zealand international Michael Rae for CSNI. The pace bowler has joined the club as a replacement professional while Ashwin Hebbar returns to India for a short T20 tournament.

Only 31 overs were possible at Upritchard Park with Bangor on 147 for five against Laurelvale when the second rain interruption was too heavy and prolonged for the game to continue.

Mark Hutchinson hit 45 and shared a fourth wicket stand of 84 with Adam McCusker who was out immediately after reaching his 50. But that proved to be the last over of the day.

Frustration was the overriding feeling at Middle Road as Carrickfergus and Derriaghy saw their tie abandoned by rain, meaning both sides must do it all again in a replay.

After a delayed start reduced the match to 46 overs per side, Derriaghy posted 230 in 39 overs. Captain Ross Bailey provided early momentum with a brisk 45 from 37 balls, including four fours and two sixes, before Craig Lewis dominated the middle order with a superb 73-ball 80 featuring six fours and five maximums. Suprith Chandrashekar added 30.

Professional Atish Varape and Carrick skipper CJ van der Walt both claimed three wickets. In reply, Carrickfergus were well placed on 89-2 after 15.1 overs, with Eian Marillier making 37 and Varape unbeaten on 35 when rain ended play.

The last match to be called off was at the Castle Grounds with no fewer than six rain delays but when time ran out after a frustrating day,

Muckamore had faced only 8.3 overs in reply to Cliftonville Academy’s all out total of 172. The home side were well placed after 30 overs on 117 for two but in the rush for quick runs between the showers they added only 55 more runs and were bowled out with four balls unused.

Only Anwar Khan with 24 off 20 balls reached double figures as Neil Gill and Neil Brand shared seven wickets.

Brand hit 42 of Muckamore’s 59 runs, from 22 balls with four fours and three sixes but was caught in the deep from what proved to be the last ball of the match. The teams must do it all again on Saturday.
