Points shared means Instonians finish 2nd in Group A to Waringstown and qualify for Semi-Finals Day.

Points shared means that Derriaghy finish 3rd in Group A ahead of Carrickfergus on NRR.

A share of the points in an abandoned match was enough for Lisburn to jump above North Down into second place in Group B and join Group winners CIYMS in Semi-Finals Day. Their hopes of a win were dented initially by a Paddy Beverland blitz (67* off 24 - 5x4, 6x6) and finally rain at the change of innings which forced an abandonment. No matter - Semi-Finals Day awaits.

Defending champions CIYMS are assured of a place in Semi-Finals Day as they made it four wins from four to top Group B with a relatively comfortable 6-wicket win over North Down at Belmont. The Comber side have been missing professional Naushad Shaikh in recent weeks as he is at a tournament in India, so drafted in Dale Phillips - South African born, but who plays his cricket in New Zealand having represented the Black Caps in two U19 World Cups. His debut innings lasted two balls, so things can only get better. Ani Chore hit 4 fours and 2 sixes in a top-score of 43, while Ryan Haire (25*) and skipper Peter Davison (22*) shared an 8th wicket stand of 46 to get them to 129 for 7 - three wickets for Allen Coulter and two for John Matchett. Ross Adair (20) raced out of the blocks but two wickets for Davison stalled the momentum. The depth of the Belmont side is all too evident and Tyron Koen's unbeaten 52 from 37 balls (5 fours, 3 sixes) saw him add an unbroken 69 in 50 balls with captain John Matchett (31*) as victory was achieved in the 16th over.

CIYMS took full advantage of a severely depleted Cliftonville Academy side to record a 9 wickets win at the Castle Grounds. Batting first, the hosts were in dire straits at 44 for 9 in the 13th over, with two wickets apiece for Angus Farrell, Carson McCullough and Allen Coulter. Professional Abhishek Raut farmed the strike to double the score with number 11 Peter Richardson. Raut hit 6 fours and 2 sixes in his 45 from 39 balls, before being bowled by Ed Nutall with two balls remaining. A shower meant a DLS adjusted target of 72 off 15 overs which proved little trouble for the powerful CIYMS batting line-up, although there was one success when Andrew Forbes bowled Irish international Ross Adair for a run-a-ball 10. Skipper John Matchett hit 7 fours and finished the match with a 6 as he made an unbeaten 36 from just 19 balls, adding an unbroken 48 with Chris Dougherty (19*). The holders sit on top of their group with three wins from three, ahead of Lisburn and North Down.

Only 3 of the Carrick side managed to reach double figures in a calamitous batting display that saw them bowled out in eighteen overs for only 67. The destroyer in chief was off-spinner Ben Rose who claimed a five-fer in his four overs. And Instonians didn't waste any time knocking off the runs required with a rapid 31 from Shane Dadswell off 17 balls (1x4, 3x6) and 21 not out off 12 from his opening partner Cade Carmichael (3x4).

Greg Thompson played a captain's innings to lead Waringsstown to an 8-wickets win over Derriaghy at The Lawn. Chasing 152, the home side were well behind the rate at the mid-way point of their reply, having reached 46 for 1, in effect 46 for 2 with Adam Dennison retiring on 30. Thompson though crunched 10 fours and 4 sixes in a typically belligerent and inventive display of controlled aggression, to finish unbeaten on 78 from just 31 balls. He shared a third wicket stand of 98 with professional Pat Botha (20*) who was content to play second fiddle. Sam Gordon's 48 was the highlight of Derriaghy's 151 for 5, with James Mitchell taking two wickets - one of which was Patrick Kruger in the opening over.

Jake Egan guided Carrickfergus to a six-wickets win over Woodvale at Middle Road with a superb batting display. Chasing 162, Egan hit 7 fours and cleared the ropes four times in a brilliant unbeaten 82 from just 48 deliveries to secure the win with 14 balls left. Earlier, in-form Ruhan Pretorius top-scored with 68 from 44 balls (6 fours, 3 sixes), dominating an opening stand of 82 in 8 overs with Ludwig Kaestner (29). The Ballygomartin Road side lost their way somewhat after that - two wickets each for Alex Haggan and Ryan Armstrong - and it took a hard-hit 26 not out from James Rose to get them up to 161 for 5 - it wasn't enough though.

Half centuries from the prolific opening partnership of Ally Shields and Ani Chore ensured North Down coasted to an 8-wickets win at home to CSNI. Chasing 172, the pair shared an opening stand of 113 in 12.5 overs, with Shields hitting 8 fours and 2 sixes in his 67 from just 40 balls. Chore would then add a further 51 with Peter Eakin (22) to end 75 not out from 52 balls (5 fours, 3 sixes). Earlier, Ryan Harrison top-scored with 76 from 56 balls (7 fours, 2 sixes) sharing stands of 54 for the second wicket with Paddy Beverland (29) and 107 for the third with Stuart Thompson, who unbeaten 51 from 39 deliveries included 6 fours and 1 maximum as the Stormont side made 171 for 3. Despite the result, it was a special night for Andrew Cowden who was making his 250th appearance for CSNI.

Third time unlucky for Cliftonville Academy whose two previous meetings with Lisburn, in the Premier League and the Challenge Cup, both ended in defeats, games they could/should have won. A 79 run opening partnership between Max Burton and Francis Collins set the visitors on their way to a challenging 164 total, Collins top scoring with 88 off 61 deliveries (8x4, 3x6). Lisburn made their customary quick start with Faiz Fazal racing to 42 off 26 (7x4, 1x6) before Abhishek Raut slammed on the brakes with a double wicket maiden, claiming Johnny Waite and James Hunter in his opening over. Neil Whitworth had the task of keeping Lisburn in touch, and he did it in style in an unbroken fifth wicket partnership of 47 with David Miller. Whitworth ended 63* off 47 balls (5x4, 3x6) while Miller's vital contribution was 24* off 14 (3x4). Cliftonville Academy held out into the final over but once again it was a case of what might have been for them.

A 54 ball century by Ludwig Kaestner was the highlight of the Woodvale innings in which he and Wayne Horwood added 133 for the second wicket. Kaestner hitt 9x4 & 7x6 in a boundary blitz while veteran Horwood scored his runs at better than a run-a-ball with 3x4 & 3x6. A tough ask for unbeaten Waringstown but it was a case of 'Anything you can do...' as Morgan Topping took the home side's attack to pieces with a deluge of boundaries. He scored 90 at exactly 2 runs-a-ball, with 8x4 & 7x6. From there it was a simple matter for skipper Greg Thompson to seal the win with three overs to spare, finishing 19 not out.

There was a strange look to the CSNI batting card with skipper Stuart Thompson's 53 the only double figure entry. Both openers Ryan Hunter and Ryan Harrison fell to left-arm spinner Ben Kane in his two opening overs before Matty McCord and Abhishek Raut picked up another two wickets each. No problems for Cliftonville Academy in chasing down the win in the seventeenth over after Francis Collins and Jared Wilson added 66 for the second wicket.

Three quick wickets for David Simpson stalled North Down's progress before a 69 run partnership between Jacob Mulder and Stuart Nelson got them past 100. But that was never going to be enough as James Hunter shared half-century partnerships with Faiz Fazal and Nigel Jones to see the visitors across the line in the eighteenth over.

A fast start by Morgan Topping, and a fast finish to the Waringstown innings from skipper Greg Thompson, saw the visitors post an impressive 168/6 with all 6 wickets falling to spin. Morgan Topping's 50 came off 27 balls with 5x4, 4x6 and Greg Thompson's off 28 balls with 3x4, 5x6. And when he brought himself on to bowl Thompson followed that up with three wickets in his first over, removing Carmichael, then Shane Getkate and Ben Rose both without scoring. Both sides strangled by spin, but those early runs from Topping and that late injection by Thompson gave the home side an impossible chase on a night where the spinners of both sides dominated proceedings.

What turned out to be a match-winning 69 run partnership between overseas professional Patrick Kruger and Chris Dempsey rescued Derriaghy from a precarious 39/5, with Kruger going on to complete a half century off 40 deliveries (4x4, 1x6) and finish unbeaten on 59 in a total of 145. Woodvale's reply got off to the worst possible start with James Hall and Ruhan Pretorius both out without scoring. And in the rest of the innings only Kaestner and Adey managed double figures in what was a forgettable display by the home side.

CSNI blown away by an 32 ball 61 run assault from Chris Dougherty (6x4, 5x6) with Ross Adair playing the minor roll for once with 45 off 28 (3x4, 4x6). Their 112 run opening blast took CI to the brink of victory but both fell with only 2 runs required. It was left to CI skipper John Matchett to finish the game in style with another maximum. As comprehensive a win as he could have asked for.

There was a real boundary blitz at Shaw's Bridge where Instonians and Derriaghy hit a combined 27 sixes! Derriaghy had reached 65 for 4 in the 13th over batting first before they sparked into life. Patrick Kruger hit 6 fours and 7 sixes in a top score of 68 from 27 balls as he and Jamie Magowan (42) added 96 in jut 40 balls for the fifth wicket. Magowan clearing the ropes four times in a hard-hit 42 from 22 balls as the Queensway side posted 177 for 5. That may have looked impressive at halfway, but a brutal assault by Shane Dadswell saw him thump seven sixes in a 19-baall half century. adding 82 inside the powerplay with Cade Carmichael. Although Dadswell and Shane Getkate went in quick succession, a third wicket partnership of 90 in 8 overs between Carmichael and Daniel Rose (33*) sealed the win in just the 15th over. Carmichael ended unbeaten on 84 from 43 deliveries (8 fours, 5 sixes) in a Man-of-the-Match display.

Closest game of the night came at The Lawn where Waringstown chased down 165 to beat Carrickfergus with three balls to spare. Jake Egan's 70 from 43 balls (5 fours, 5 sixes) power the visitors to 165 for 8 - 20's for Michael Gilmour (26) and CJ van der Walt (23). Rory Bessell (3-25) the most successful of the bowlers. Irish international James McCollum top scored with 45 from 31 balls (3fours, 2 sixes) to lay a platform. It was all very nip and tuck but the decisive stand of 52 in 5 overs between Adam Dennison (32*) and skipper Greg Thompson (29) ensured the home support went home happy.

A captain's innings by John Matchett got holders' CIYMS T20 defence off to a winning start chasing 155 to beat Lisburn by six wickets. The Belmont side lost talisman Ross Adair (1) in the second over of the chase, but there was no nerves as Matchett's unbeaten 70 from 51 balls (10 fours, 1 six) meant they were always in control. There were cameos trom Chris Dougherty, Tyron Koen, Jason van der Merwe plus Theo van Woerkom as the win was secured with 15 balls left. Earlier, Fai Fazal had top scored with 63 from 44 balls (8 fours, 2 sixes), sharing an opening stand of 73 with Jonathan Waite (35). There were 20's for James Hunter and Nigel Jones, but a total of 155 looked light at halfway and that's how it turned out.

North Down's excellent start to the season as they romped to an emphatic 108-run win over Cliftonville Academy. The result was never in doubt after Ally Shields hit 6 fours and 5 sixes in a sparkling 70 from 43 balls - adding 80 for the first wicket with Ani Chore (21) and 60 in four overs for the second with Peter Eakin, whose 30 from 15 balls saw him clearing the ropes four times. Naushad Shaikh kept the accelerator pressed down as he made 49 from just 22 balls (5 fours, 3 sixes) in a final total of 219 for 5. Abhishek Raut (2-11) escaped the carnage, and he top-scored with 33 in a tame reply as the hosts opted for batting practice, ending 111 for 9 - Francis Collins making 25. North Down used nine bowlers with Ryan Haire (4-21) and Ben Escott (3-15) the most successful.
