Lisburn won the Under-13 Banoge Cup beating hosts CIYMS at Belmont by 16 runs in an exciting game. Skipper Callum Rowe was the star of the show for Lisburn with his 26-ball 50 (8 fours, 1 six) leading the Wallace Park side to a total of 114 in 18 overs, with Jamie Simpson making a valuable unbeaten 18.The CIYMS bowling unit did well with three wickets apiece for Hannes Beeslaar, Bryn Heasley and Elliot Burns. Benny Cooper top scored with 30 in the chase, while there were also runs for Hannes Beeslar (20) and Karsten Close (14) but CIYMS finished just short on 98 for 8. Lisburn's attack did well to keep the brakes on, with two wickets each for Harry Parr, Callum Lowe, and Evan Gawley. The scorecard contains many familiar names in NCU cricket, and it's great to see that generational love of the game.

A 63 ball century by Templepatrick's Charlie Swart the highlight of the U19s innings, the SA born Irish Passport holder collecting 6x4 & 5x6 in his unbeaten knock. The MCC chase never got going with openers Harry Dyer and Evan Williams back in the pavilion with the score just 20, Williams the first of Josh Corbett's two wickets while there was one each for Tom Crothers, Mark Hanna and Evan Carlisle.

An unbeaten century on his home ground from NCU skipper Ryan Hunter was the highlight of the day as the under 19s made light of the chase. Hunter and opening partner Adam Heasley posted 55 before Hunter was joined by David Agnew and the pair added 136 to seal the win with eight overs to spare. Earlier it was Lisburn's James Hunter who top scored for the MCC in this second fixture of the week. MCC head to Ardmore tomorrow to play the NW Warriors Emerging XI before taking on the NCU U17s at Stormont on Friday.
