Freya Sargent's five-wicket haul inspired Ireland Under 17s to Future Series glory as they gained revenge on the Warriors Women to lift the trophy at Stormont. Sargent took 5 for 22 as the NW were bowled out for 175 - Zara Craig top-scoring with 31, Alana Dalzell making 29, and the Irish teenagers donating 45 bowling extras. Isabel Light and Lara McBride each made 37 in an opening stand of 86, and despite a late wobble with the finishing line in sight, the 17s eventually won by by two wickets, helped again by 42 bowling extras, which became a feature of the week - something for the coaches to work on. A very enjoyable series but maybe a rethink required on the 50 overs format, which seemed too long for what were very young teams for the most part.

Leinster finished the week on a winning note as they beat hosts NCU by 5 wickets to clinch 3rd place in the Future Series. The NCU made 167 with Jemma Gillan (36), Charlotte Lyons (27) and Gracie Keenan (23) their main contributors. Lucy Barry (3-40) and Christina Coulter-Reilly (2-35) again among the wickets. CCR has been Leinster's stand-out player this week and the Clontarf all-rounder led her side to victory with an unbeaten 71 (5 fours).

The Warriors Women made it three wins from three to qualify for Friday's play-off final in the Future Series after a resounding 9-wicket win over hosts NCU at Stormont. A fine bowling display by the Warriors saw two wickets apiece for Mollie Devine, Lucy Carmichael, Alana Dalzell and Cody Wallace to dismiss the NCU for 123, Aoife Fisher (26) again top scoring on her home patch, while Ciara Murray made 19. The modest target was little trouble to the table toppers, with Fox Lodge opener Mollie Devine top-scoring with an unbeaten 42, sharing stands of 62 for the opening wicket with Ballymagorry team mate Sarah Black (37) and an unbroken 63 for the second with Strabane's Lucy McGranaghan (21*).

Rain affected - match reduced to 20 overs per side.

Hosts NW Warriors made it two wins from two as they beat Leinster by 65 runs. The Warriors were helped by the waywardness of the Dubliners attack who conceded 49 wides and 7 no-balls in their 62 extras, helping the Warriors to 206. Fox Lodge opener Mollie Device top-scored with 35 before retiring, while there were runs too for Alana Dalzell (27) and Zara Craig (23). The Clontarf duo of Lucy Barry (3-53) and Christina Coulter-Reilly (2-29) were among the wickets. Leinster struggled against the Warriors attack with Sophie Stewart's 36 the best of their 141 - three wickets for Bready's Cody Wallace on her home ground, and two apiece for Mollie Devine, Charley Scott and Arianna McKenna.

Ireland U17's beat the NCU by 91 runs in the second round of games in the Women's Future series at Bready. The Irish teenagers made 210 with runs for Isabel Light (42), Julie McNally (30) and Ellie McGee (25), as well as 56 extras. Abbi Leckey took three wickets while there were two apiece for Evans and Aoife Fisher. The CSNI opener was again top-scorer for the Belfast side, making 37 in the chase, but despite runs too for Muckamore's Ciara Murray (27), they were bowled out for 119 - four wickets for Annabel Squires. The sides now have Wednesday off before the series resumes in Belfast on Thursday and Friday.

Alana Dalzell was the star of the show as the Warriors beat Ireland U17s by 35 runs. Bready's Irish international top-scored with 84 before being run out off the penultimate ball as her side made 229 for 8 - runs too for Sarah Black (42) and Zara Craig (27). Extras were to prove crucial also with the Irish teenagers conceding 45 wides and no-balls. That was to prove fatal as they came close in the chase. When Julie McNally (55) and Freya Sargent (46) were in full flow as they added 90 in just 11 overs, Ireland were well on top at 142 for 3 in the 24th over. However, both fell to Tanisha Hussain (3-43) and with Dalzell picking up three wickets too, the teenagers were bowled out for 194 in the 39th.

Christine Coulter-Reilly carried her good domestic form into the first game of the Women's Future Series to help Leinster to a 40-run win over the NCU at Bready. CCR top-scored with 82 ( 3 fours, two 6's) as she dominated their total of 213 for 9. The NCU let them off the hook after reducing them to 163 for 7, conceding 54 extras,47 of which came in wides and no-balls. That was to prove crucial in the final analysis as the Belfast side finished on 173, despite Aoife Fisher's 80. There were three wickets apiece for Sophie Stewart and Lucy Barry in the 40-run win.
