Armagh beat Cregagh by 7 wickets
The Mall, 7 September.
Cregagh 101 (32.2 overs: Aaron Johnston 27; Quintin Dreyer 6-27)

Quintin Dreyer took 6 wickets for Armagh (Armagh CC)
Armagh secured the win they needed to keep their promotion hopes alive but it was ultimately in vain. Quintin Dreyer's 6 for 33 saw Cregagh bundled out for 101 - Aaron Johnston's 27 the best of a disappointing end of season effort. Jamie Rogers (41) and Dreyer (31) were in the runs as they passed their modest target in the 18th over despite three wickets for Graeme Hassard (3-16).
Drumaness Superkings lost to Donacloney Mill by 145 runs

A final total of 354 was always daunting but there was certainly respectability in the chase thanks to Neil Gelston's 61 - four wickets for Alex Ogle and three for Varape who had another day to remember.
Lurgan beat Laurelvale by 40 runs
Pollock Park, 7 September.
Lurgan 180/9 (50 overs: Stephen Chambers 70, Peter Maxwell 27; David Sinton 5-25, Khurshid Subhani 2-28)

Templepatrick 356/4 (50 overs: Ross Bryans 168, Sam O'Mahony 136; Renco Adams 2-76)

Section One Winners Templepatrick (Andy McCrea)
A 320 run third wicket partnership between Templepatrick captain Ross Bryans and Aussie professional Sam O'Mahony looked to have sealed their promotion to the Premier League before the change of innings. Bryans 168 included 9x4,14x6 and O'Mahony's 136, 16x4,3x6. And indeed it was a case of 'they think it's all over' when O'Mahony's opening burst claimed Ryan Beckett, Ivan Sinovich and Craig Lewis - 4 overs 3-6 his final figures, as Templepatrick look forward to playing in the top section of local cricket for the first time in their history.

Paul Stafford took 5 wickets (CricketEurope)
Lurgan kept their mathematical hopes of the Section One title alive with a one-sided victory at home to DSK. Both they and Armagh are eight points behind Templepatrick each with two games to play while Templepatrick will be crowned champions if they win any of their final three fixtures.

Mallusk, 24 August.
Belfast
Templepatrick
Templepatrick's wait to be crowned Section One champions goes on for another week after their game with Belfast fell victim to the weather. While their vastly superior NRR means they are champions in essence already, it will be rubber-stamped if they can beat Armagh next weekend.

Lurgan 98/4 (23 overs: Stephen Johnston 30, Reghard Els 23; Ivan Sinovich 2-9) (Rain interrupted - Lurgan target 98 in 46 overs.)
Lurgan moved into third place in the table with a 6-wickets (DLS) win over Derriaghy at Pollock Park. In a disappointing batting effort, the Queensway side could only get to a modest 99, thanks primarily to a late blast by top-scorer Ivan Sinovich who hit 3 sixes in his 25, and 20 from opener Ryan Beckett. Callum Grieve took three wickets, while there were two apiece for Paul Stafford, Peter Maxwell, and Darwish Nazari. A second wicket stand of 49 between Stephen Johnston (30) and Reghard Els (23) ensured the chase was fairly straightforward despite two wickets in two balls from Sinovich (2-9).

Laurelvale, 18 August.
Templepatrick 155/5 (20 overs; Ross Bryans 61*, Sam O'Mahony 27, Richard Greer 27, Mark Thompson 20; Michael Burns 3-30, David Sinton 2-44)
Laurelvale 125/5 (20 overs; Khurshid Subhani 50, Adam Speers 23*)
Templepatrick (Templepatrick CC)
Ross Bryans powerful half century ensured Templepatrick widened the gap to 12 points at the top of Section One and all but seal their place in the top flight for the 2025 season. Bryans unbeaten 61 came from only 34 balls (3 fours, 4 sixes) as his side posted 155 for 5 - 27 apiece for Sam O'Mahony and Richard Greer, plus 20 for Mark Thompson. Michael Burns picked up three wickets, while David Sinton claimed a brace. The reply saw Laurelvale always behind the rate, in spite of a half century by Khurshid Subhani (3 fours, 3 sixes) and an unbeaten 23 by Adam Speers. The margin was 30 runs and such is the superior NRR advantage that Templepatrick have, it would take something truly exceptional to deny them even if they lost their final three matches.

Ballymena 162/7 (50 overs: John Glass 48, Samuel Glass 40, Michael Glass 26; Darwish Nazari 3-47)

Babar Khan's five-wicket haul ensured victory for Laurelvale at Cregagh. The home side made a disappointing 128 with Jonny Moore (21) and Ali Watt (20) their two main contributors. Khan had the excellent analysis of 5-25, while there were three wickets for Adam Speers and two for Michael Burns. Adnan Malik (40) and Mark Thornbury (34) shared an opening stand of 93 to all but settle the contest, although they did falter with the finishing line in sight losing five wickets to Bob Moore (3-25) and Mrutyunjay Rout (2-19).

Atish Varape was in the runs yet again (CricketEurope)
Section One's leading run-scorer Atish Varape (872) recorded his fourth century of the season as he and Aaron Kennedy (103) piled on the runs at Cregagh. Varape stroked 17 boundaries in his 118, sharing a second wicket partnership of 143 with Kennedy (6 fours, 4 sixes). A total of 303 for 5 was always going to be imposing and even more so as the hosts slipped to 23 for 5 in the reply, Bob Moore made an even-time 54 (6 fours, 2 sixes) adding 90 for the sixth wicket with Craig Boultwood (44*), but they ended 159 runs adrift on 144 - four wickets for Aaron Kennedy and two each for Timmy McClure and Mark Hanna.

The Queensway side had made a strong start through Ryan Beckett - who hit 7 fours in his 58 - and Ross Bailey (28), but from 79 for 1 they lost their way to 170 all out, not helped by Renco Adams' second-ball dismissal. There were three wickets apiece for Babar Khan, David Sinton, and Jack Burns. The chase was straightforward, as Adnan Malik and Mark Thornbury put on 96 for the first wicket. Thornbury hit 7 fours in his 75, while Malik's 76-ball unbeaten 93 included 7 fours and 6 sixes - the 8-wicket win achieved with 11 overs to spare.

Stephen Chambers (44) and Stephen Johnston (33) ensured the margin of the loss - 20 runs - didn't do too much damage to their NRR. It's shaping up to be an exciting final conclusion to the league over the next month.

Lurgan lost to Cregagh by 2 wickets
Pollock Park, 27 May.
Lurgan 93 (34.4 overs: Callum Grieve 39; Daniel Henry 3-10, Graeme Hassard 2-10, Alastair Watt 2-29)
Cregagh 94/8 (34.4 overs: Aaron Johnston 42; Paul Stafford 3-17, Reghard Els 3-18, Peter Maxwell 2-27) (1.00pm start - match reduced to 42 overs.)
A struggle for Lurgan after being asked to bat, losing captain Stephen Johnston in the first over and Aussie Reghard Els in the second, both without scoring. Callum Grieve (39) and Stephen Chambers (19) with the only double figure scores as the innings folded, three wickets for Daniel Henry and two each for Graeme Hassard and Alastair Watt. What looked to be a straightforward chase for Cregagh got off to the worst possible start as Els took revenge for his own dismissal by removing Jay Hunter lbw first ball of the reply, and doubling up, bowling Paul Douglas in the same over, Cregagh 3/2 after 1 over. Danny Cooper and Aaron Johnston steadied the ship adding 34 before Cooper was stumped, a wicket for the evergreen Paul Stafford with Els taking his third leaving Cregagh 57/4 at the halfway stage. It looks like it will be Aaron Johnston or nobody to win this for Cregagh as they lose another two wickets. Still 34 needed and only 4 wickets left - overs not a problem surely? Make that three wickets left as Stafford gets his third, Bob Moore lbw without scoring. Johnston gone! A second wicket for Peter Maxwell and scoring at a standstill, can Cregagh creep across the line from here? Lurgan are going to have to find another bowler here if 42 overs = 2x9 & 3x8. Els and Stafford have bowled 9 each and John Guy 8. So here comes Darwish Nazari - Maxwell has bowled 6 so they may actually need a sixth bowler! Not required in the end as Alastair Watt and Daniel Henry add an unbroken 23 for the ninth wicket and the win.

An unbroken tenth wicket partnership of 42 saw Belfast snatch the points from the home side in this high scoring encounter. All looked lost for the visitors at 257/9 before Naveem Ahmad launched his assault blasting 4x4 and 4x6 including one to seal the win in his 45* off only 18 deliveries. His partner Shoaib Maqsood contributing 2 to the partnership. Earlier it had looked like Ryan Matthews had made the game safe for 'Cloney Mill with 73 and 4 wickets but it was not to be. A quickfire 80 from former Woodvale player Ferhan Saeed set Belfast on their way but it will be Ahmad's effort that will stick in the memory of his side and the throats of his opponents.
