A third wicket stand of 147 between Man of the Match Curtley Deelman and Michael Glass powered Ballymena to 281 for 9 at Eaton Park. The South African hit 13 fours and 5 sixes in his 92-ball knock and was well supported by Glass, who made 53. The pair then shared a combined five wickets as Lurgan made a real go of the chase, led by Stephen Johnston's 68 and 41 from Peter Maxwell, ultimately ending 29 runs adrift. Ballymena now face Woodvale at home on May 31st.

A fine all-round batting effort propelled Donacloney Mill to an emphatic 138-run win over Laurelvale. Player of the Match Judd Markham top scored with 67, sharing a century stand with Shane Warren (66), while there were runs too for Ryan Matthews (54) and James Cunningham (42) in a total of 310 for 8. Adnan Malik (62*) and Alex Speers (59) both scored half centuries but Laurelvale could only manage 172 - Mark Hanna taking 3 for 11. They will now play Armagh for a place in the last eight.

Cregagh had little trouble ousting Downpatrick after they bowled them out for just 111 - four wickets for Alistair Watt, and two apiece for Adam Beattie and McCormick. Johnny Hunter's 42 and an unbeaten 23 from Moore saw them clinch the six wickets win.

Bangor caused something of a shock as they thumped Derriaghy by an emphatic 130-runs at Upritchard Park. Mark Hutchinson's 63 and 32 apiece from Johnny Parker and Simpson helped them to 217. That proved way too many as Derriaghy were skittled for just 87 with only Craig Lewis (44) making any sort of a fist of it. There were three wickets each for Brown and Pyper in an impressive display by Bangor, who now face an away trip to North Down in the next round.
