A fine bowling display had restricted Burndennett to 111 despite early runs for Andy Barr (31) and Niall McDonnell. Teenagers Ryan McAuley (4-19),and Sam Macbeth (3-11) did the damage, with skipper David Anthony taking 2-0. Michael Rankin (48*) and Jack Macbeth (22) looked to be leading a serene chase, before four quick wickets by Ramatullah (4-25) had a few of the lower order curtailing their lap and scrambling for the pads.

The most successful of the Saints attack were Sam Macbeth and Michael Rankin who each took two wickets.

Killyclooney were the highest scorers of the day in the Championship with new captain Kenzie Hall hitting 113 (10 fours, 3 sixes) as he and William Finlay (51) took full advantage of loose bowling and dropped catches in an opening stand of 105.
