Defending champions the Dragons made it two wins from two as they chased down 176 to beat the Scorchers by seven wickets with an over to spare in the T20 Trophy at Bready. Gaby Lewis hit 12 fours and a six in a 43-ball 71, adding 91 in ten overs for the second wicket with Eimear Richardson (32). Their total of 175 for six was given a late impetus injection from Sophie MacMahon, who thumped four boundaries and two maximums in a 13-ball 33. Alana Dalzell and Ella Marsh each collected two wickets. Bella Armstrong (23) added 49 for the opening wicket with the prolific Amy Hunter, but it was the second wicket partnership of 102 in ten overs between the Belfast 19-year-old and fellow international Orla Prendergast that was the match-defining one. Hunter top-scored with a 44-ball 64 that included nine boundaries - five of them consecutively off Louise Little in an over that changed the complexion of the game. Prendergast also hit nine fours in a 34-ball 53, before both fell in quick succession. 26 were needed off 21 balls when Abbi Harrison (12*) was joined by Arlene Kelly (10*), with the pair ensuring victory with six balls to spare.

Amy Hunter was in the runs yet again as the Dragons started their quest for a cup double with a ten-run win over the Typhoons at Bready in a contest reduced to 15 overs. The Belfast teenager hit 14 fours and a six in an unbeaten 94, sharing an unbroken third wicket stand of 132 with Waringstown's Abbi Harrison (31*), helping the hosts recover from 6 for 2 to post 138 for two. Alana Dalzell struck two early blows in the chase, and despite the best efforts of Laura Delany who made a 33-ball unbeaten 57 (6 fours, 2 sixes) they fell ten short. Leah Paul made a breezy 31 as she and Delany added 68 for the fourth wicket.
Women's Super 20 Trophy
Scorchers beat Typhoons by 8 wickets.
Bready, 22 June.
Typhoons 118-7 (20 overs; L Delany 30, A Squires 25*, Z Craig 22; S MacMahon 2-24, A Canning 2-26) Scorchers 119-2 (12.2 overs; G Lewis 33, L Little 32, E Richardson 28*)
The Typhoons were blown away at Bready in the afternoon game in a one-sided contest. Laura Delany's 30 was the best of a modest 118 for seven, while Annabel Squires (25*) and Zara Craig (22) added 43 for the seventh wicket. Sophie MacMahon and Ava Canning were the pick of the bowlers with two wickets apiece. The chase was effectively over inside the powerplay as Gaby Lewis (33) and Louise Little (32) set about the bowlers. Eimear Richardson (28*) continued the assault as the eight wicket win was sealed with almost eight overs to spare.
Northern Knights lost to Munster Reds by 6 wickets.
Stormont, 15 May.

Stephen Doheny sent the Ireland selectors a reminder of his abilities with a stunning 129 as Munster Reds made it back-to-back wins with a six wicket victory over Northern Knights at Stormont. His 111-ball knock included 15 fours and 4 sixes, sharing a match defining third wicket stand of 136 in 20 overs with Suliman Safi (68) as they secured the bonus point for chasing down their 275 target in 40 overs. Earlier, Cade Carmichael celebrated his Irish call-up by top-scoring with 65 (12 fours) for the Knights, with James McCollum (58) and skipper Neil Rock (50) also scoring half centuries. From 155 for 2 in the 29th over, the Knights needed less haste, more speed on a ground where over 300 is par.
Leinster Lightning beat North West Warriors by 44 runs.
Oak Hill, 15 May.
Leinster Lightning 275 (49 overs; C de Freitas 143*, B McCarthy 37, G Hoey 28; R Macbeth 4-33, S Macbeth 2-46, J Wilson 2-53)
North West Warriors 231 (48.4 overs; A McBrine 63, A Balbirnie 63, S Topping 26, J Egan 24; N Totakhil 2-15, R Wilson 2-34, G Hoey 2-38, J Moondra 2-40)

Chris De Freitas carried his bat as Leinster Lightning produced another salvage operation to make it three wins from three and on course to retain the IP 50 Cup. Lisburn seamer Ryan Macbeth's four wickets included a trio of Irish internationals, but De Freitas stood firm as the hosts slowly gained the upper hand. His unbeaten 143 - the second highest individual score in the competition's history - included 19 fours and 4 sixes, with the Balbriggan left-hander sharing stands of 74 for the sixth wicket with Gavin Hoey, and 85 for the 7th with Barry McCarthy, whose rapid 37 included three sixes. The Warriors chase was always behind the required run rate despite Andrew Balbirnie's third score over 50 in the past week. Skipper Andy McBrine was last man out for a top score of 64 (5 fours, 3 sixes) but his side finished 44 runs adrift. The 50 overs format takes a break now until August, with the T20's getting underway in Cork next month.
Leinster Lightning beat Northern Knights by 4 wickets.
Oak Hill, 13 May.
Northern Knights 204 (39.1 overs; C Carmichael 107; J Moondra 3-45, R Wilson 2-15, G Hoey 2-38) Leinster Lightning 210/6 (46.1 overs; G Dockrell 101*, G Hoey 40, B McCarthy 34*; T Mayes 3-34)

George Dockrell yet again proved he's very much the man for a crisis as the Phoenix all-rounder rescued the defending champions from a precarious 12 for 4 and 52 for 5 chasing 205 to beat the Northern Knights at Oak Hill. Dockrell shared stands of 82 for the sixth wicket and an unbroken 76 for the seventh with the Pembroke duo of Gavin Hoey (40) and Barry McCarthy (34*). Dockrell reached his century with a maximum over deep midwicket to bring the contest to a fitting end. The Knights will reflect on twice throwing away strong positions - firstly when Cade Carmichael's 107 from 101 balls (14 fours, 1 six) helped them at one stage to 145 for 3 before the wheels came off. Then, when Tom Mayes early blitz had Lightning on the ropes at 12 for 4 with last week's two centurions - Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker - back in the hutch. Dockrell though loves a battle and once again showcased just why he has been the outstanding cricketer of the interpros over the past decade.
Munster Reds beat North West Warriors by 3 wickets
The Mardyke, Cork, 13 May.
North West Warriors 245-6 (50 overs; A Balbirnie 101, C Melly 31*, J Wilson 28*, S Topping 30, A McBrine 27; L McCarthy 3-43) Munster Reds 248-7 (48 overs; G Delany 70, P Le Roux 74*, S Safi 39*, S Modgill 26; A McBrine 3-46, D O'Sullivan 2-32)

Andrew Balbirnie's century was in a losing cause as Munster chased down the Warriors 245 to win with three wickets and two overs to spare. Batting first the Warriors opening pair of Balbirnie and Sam Topping (30) couldn't get going as their stand of 79 ate up more than half of the overs. Balbirnie did pick up the pace as the innings went on, making 101 from 135 balls (10 fours). Andy McBrine made 27, but it took a late surge from Cameron Melly (31*) and Jared Wilson (28*)- who added an unbroken 58 for the seventh wicket from just 20 balls. Munster lost wickets at regular intervals, but a match defining stand of 89 between skipper Gareth Delany and Railway Union's former Ireland U19 captain Philippe Le Roux (74*) ensured Munster got their first win of the competition in a tight finish at The Mardyke.
Leinster Lightning best Munster Reds by 48 runs
Oak Hill, 7 May.
Leinster Lightning 328/8 (50 overs; L Tucker 121, H Tector 120, T Tector 30, G Dockrell 27; J Manley 4-74, B McDonough 2-56) Munster Reds 280 (46.1 overs; P le Roux 87*, Suliman Safi 59, S Doheny 51, G Delany 44; J Moondra 3-42, B McCarthy 2-41)
Lorcan Tucker marked his Leinster captaincy debut with a century and a win, as he and fellow international Harry Tector (120) shared a partnership of 212 to help Lightning to 328 for 8 - the fourth highest partnership and the fourth highest total in the competition. Tim Tector (30) and George Dockrell (27) also chipped in. Josh Manley took four wickets, while there were two for Byron McDonough. Munster gave it a go with half centuries for Suliman Safi and Stephen Doheny. Philippe Le Roux hit a defiant 87 from just 68 balls (8 fours, 4 sixes) and probably deserved a century before running out of partners. They finished on 280, 48 runs adrift.
Northern Knights beat North West Warriors by 4 wickets
Stormont, 7 May.
North West Warriors 283/5 (50 overs; S Topping 120, A Balbirnie 91, J Egan 22, J Wilson 20*; T Mayes 3-66, M Foster 2-43) Northern Knights 286/6 (46.1 overs; C Carmichael 86, J McCollum 57, T Mayes 40*, J Neill 32*, N Rock 24; S Macbeth 4-44)
Hundred for Sam Topping (CricketEurope)
The Northern Knights survived a mid-innings wobble to chase down the Warriors 283 to win by four wickets at Stormont. An opening stand of 128 between Cade Carmichael and James McCollum laid the platform, but four wickets for Scott Macbeth had the game in the balance at 222 for 6. Tom Mayes (40*) thumped three sixes in an over to hasten the Knights home, sharing an unbroken 7th wicket stand of 64 with Jordan Neill (32*). Earlier, debutants Sam Topping (120) and Andrew Balbirnie (91) shared an opening stand of 217 - the third highest in the 50 overs competition's 12-year history - before both fell in quick succession to Matthew Foster. Tom Mayes picked up three wickets late on, while there were entertaining 20's from Jake Egan and Jared Wilson.
