Leinster chased down a revised target of 158 with an solid batting effort at Rush. Tom Johnson (33) and Monil Patel (24) shared a second wicket stand of 55, while Mark Tonge applied the coupe de grace as he thumped six fours in a 21-ball unbeaten 30 to seal the four wicket win. Four wickets apiece from Ben Mitchell and Saqib Bahadhur had kept Rush to 167 - runs for Sadaat Gull (31), Abidullah Taniwal (29), Nasir Totakhil (28) and Jack McGee (25).

The Hills won Fingal bragging rights with a 59-run win over North County at The Vineyard. Matthew Weldon was the star of the show as the youngster showed his quality in an even time 93 that included 10 fours and two sixes. Oliver Horlock dropped anchor with his 38, while Andrew Kavanagh also made 38 in a total of 223 - three wickets for Eddie Richardson and two apiece for Hunter Kindley and Brandon Morris. Sean McNicholl (3-20) and Shazid Ahmed made early inroads and at 34 for five it seemed game over. Alan Mathew (42) and Jamie Grassi staged a recovery with a sixth wicket stand of 77, but two wickets apiece for Muzamil Sherzad and Febin Manoj sealed their fate.

Eknoor Singh was the Phoenix match winner at Park Avenue, hitting 9 fours and 4 sixes in a 63-ball unbeaten 91 as they overcame a wobbly start to chase down their 164 in 26 overs target with 13 balls to spare. Tyrone Kane (20) and skipper Adam Chester (15*) chipped in, while Amish Sidhu hastened proceedings to a quick conclusion by thumping his first three balls to the boundary. It was left-arm spinner Sidhu who was the pick of the attack with three wickets, as Railway collapsed from a strong start given by Ashil Prakash (58) and Hedayat Khogiani, slipping from 86 for 1 to 156 for 9 in a game where the rain was never too far away.

Balbriggan turned in an impressive all-round display as they beat Malahide by 93 runs (DLS) at the Jack Harper Ground. Connor Fletcher top-scored with a biundary laden 58 (4 fours, 4 sixes), while there were runs too for Farooq Nasr (33), Greg Ford (26) and also Dylan Lues who made 44 in their 242 for seven. Lues then turned his hand to spin, claiming four wickets, while Matthew Hollard continues to impress - 'the best fast bowler in the country' - one veteran's opinion, as he made early inroads with 3 for 29. Jeremy Martins' 39 the best of a one-sided game as Malahide were bowled out for 140.

Clontarf once again got one over on Merrion in a high scoring affair at Anglesea Road despite an abbreviated match. Mitchell Thompson's unbeaten 109 (10 fours, 3 sixes) in a match defining second wicket stand of 184 with Eoghan Delany was the catalyst for the victory. Delany impressed with a hard-hit 59-ball 86 (4 fours, 5 sixes), while the runs continued to flow as John McNally cleared the ropes three times in his 34. Facing a revised target of 294 in 31 overs, Merrion raced out of the blocks with Stephen Doheny making a 31-ball 62 (% fours, 4 sixes), but scoreboard pressure told as the required rate kept climbing. Jamie Forbes hit a rapid 49 and Adam Rosslee 38 to het the hosts close, but Clontarf had 25 runs to spare. Cillian McDonnell and Reuben Wilson were among the wickets, while skipper David Delany (1-46) also helped keep Merrion in check.

Gavin Hoey made an unbeaten 52 (5 fours, 1 six) adding an unbroken 97 for the fourth wicket with Jack Tector (35*) as Pembroke chased down their 164 in 33 overs target with 26 balls to spare. Blake McDonald (35) and JJ Garth (26) had earlier put on 61 for the second wicket after the early fall of Tim Tector. Brian Upman's 54-ball 70 (5 fours, 5 sixes) was by far Cork County's best effort, while skipper Paul Lawson and Daniel Murray each took three wickets. Hoey also took two scalps in a fine all-round display by the Irish international.
