Holders Waringstown won the Gallagher Women's Senior Cup for the third time in their history with an emphatic 125-run win over Holywood. Cara Murray made 43 and took four wickets to earn the Player-of-the-Match accolade. There was also a century partnership between skipper Sophie Hinds (42) and Abigale Gerken (45) in an imposing total of 240 for 7. Nina Kerr (4-56) the most successful of an erratic Holywood bowling unit that leaked 53 extras - including 9 penalty runs. The chase never got going with only Madison Landsman (59) getting into her stride. As well as Murray's 4-13, there were three wickets for Charlotte Lyons and two for Penny Speer in a day to remember for Waringstown - they will be hoping their men's side can complete a cup double on Friday at Stormont.

Lisburn 50-6 at the half way stage but that represented a recovery from a disastrous 15-6 with Erin Bond and Lara Maritz ripping through the host's top order. Things got no better for Lisburn after the drinks break as Alex Atkinson claimed three wickets in two overs. Beth Kennedy and Extras (17) the only double figure contributions in a disappointing batting display. In the briefest of chases Netherlands International Madison Landsman plundered an unbeaten 45 from just 17 balls (3x4, 4x6) leaving Irish International Lara Maritz a spectator with just a single to her name off her only delivery faced.

Lots of starts in the CSNI order but only Emily Calvert able to pass 20. Tight bowling from the hosts with wickets shared, Naomi Matthews with three and Rachel Harrison and Penny Speer two each. Waringstown very much in control in the chase, 90 without loss at the drinks break, Abbi Harrison with a better than a run-a-ball half century. And in the end an emphatic win for the hosts who will meet Holywood in the Final on home turf in two weeks time.

Jemma Gillan scored a century as 2023 winners CSNI ran out convincing 179-run winners against Instonians at Stormont. Skipper Gillan hit 14 boundaries in her 100 from just 80 balls, sharing a third wicket stand of 167 in 19 overs with Rachael Thomas who made 35 in a home side total of 262 for 6 - three wickets for Anna Ellerby (3-31). The Instonians chase never got going as they were bundled out for just 83 - four wickets for Emily Carville.

This game was postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date.

Holywood's excellent season continued as they easily swept aside Muckamore at Moylena. A fine bowling display saw Muckamore dismissed for just 86, with Player-of-the-Match Alex Atkinson taking 3 for 2, while there were two wickets apiece for Tasmin Hope and Madison Landsman. 21-year-old Landsman, who has played international cricket for both South Africa - taking a hat-trick in the inaugural U19 World Cup against Scotland - and The Netherlands, then hit an unbeaten 51 from 27 balls (8 fours, 1 six), as she and Eva Cupitt (11*) shared a second wicket partnership of 68 to seal the nine-wickets win inside ten overs.

Holders Waringstown had little trouble making the last four as they beat North Down by eight wickets at Comber. Captain Amy Bond's 20 was the best of their modest total of 111 - two wickets apiece for Naomi Matthews, Cara Murray , Rachael Harrison and Penny Speer. Amy Caulfield got the chase off to a customary fast start with 22, but it was the second wicket stand of 70 between Sophie Hinds and Charlotte Lyons (23) that was to prove decisive. Hinds' unbeaten 52 from just 38 balls (8 fours) was more than enough to earn her the Player-of-the-Match accolade.
