Glendermott duly won the Sammy Jeffrey Shield with a 172-run win over Ballyspallen on another run-filled day at The Rectory - 1170 in total scored over the two days. Resuming with a lead of 238, Glendermott opted to bat again and made 225 - Geeth Kumara making 70 and Ben Mills hitting 6 sixes in a rapid 43. That left Ballyspallen needing 464 and to be fair to Graham Kennedy and Eddie Moore, they didn't die wondering. The pair added 132 in 10 overs for the third wicket, but the fun ended for Moore after a 35-ball 78 (11 fours, 5 sixes). Kennedy went on to make 107 from 58 balls (5 fours, 12 sixes) as 'Spallen made 291. Ben Mills took six wickets to make it ten for the match, but he was pipped to the Man-of-the-Match accolade by Sri Lankan Geeth Kumara on two days to remember for all the Glendermott faithful.

Ballyspallen recovered from 84 for 5 to chase down Killyclooney's 257, winning by four wickets. Jurie Snyman - in as a replacement professional for Kagiso Rapulana - justified the short-term inclusion with a top-score of 112 from 103 balls (11 fours, 6 sixes). He shared a sixth wicket stand of 116 with Stuart Kennedy, who finished the job after Snyman's departure, hitting 8 fours and 3 sixes in his unbeaten 72, adding an unbroken 58 for the seventh wicket with Jay O'Brien. Earlier, there was another South African professional century, as Arun Visser's 101-ball 140 (16 fours, 4 sixes) led the hosts to 257, sharing stands of 88 with skipper Kenzie Hall (28) and teenager Alfie Moan (34). The Kennedy clan did the bulk of the damage with the ball, taking 8 of the 10 wickets to fall.

Trevor Britton took nine wickets as Glendermott bowled out St Johnston for 75 to win by 192 runs at The Rectory. A solid batting effort has seen Geeth Kumara top score with 66 in a total of 267 for 8. The win will have them in good spirits as they begin their long journey to Kerry for the National Cup quarter-final.

Killyclooney made short work of Sion Mills as they bowled their fellow Tyrone side out for 78. Glenn McCallan top-scoring with 19. Skippers past and present Timmy Dougherty (4-20) and Kenzie Hall (3-26) did the bulk of the damage, while youngster Alfie Moan claimed two scalps. McCallan picked up two consolation wickets, but the home side won before the end of the powerplay, with Aron Visser making a 25-ball unbeaten 43 (6 fours, 2 sixes), while Dougherty also cleared the ropes twice in a brief cameo.

Nathan Cole was the St Johnston hero in an entertaining five-wicket win over Fox Lodge at the Boathole in a game reduced to 36 overs. Gayan Maneeshan's 57 was the best of the Ballymagorry's side 153 for 9, sharing a third wicket stand of 104 with Jason Milligan (30) - two wickets apiece for Ryan McAuley, Michael Rankin and Nathan Cole. Aaron Heywood then took 2 for 5 in a 7 overs spell to reduce the home side to 54 for 4 approaching the halfway point of the chase. Cole and David Lapsley (34) then got the Saints back on track with a 5th wicket stand of 69, with Cole hitting four fours and two sixes in a match-winning unbeaten 57.

Glendermott's Geeth Kumara showed his class as the Rectory side chased 152 to beat Burndennett. Corey Roulston (34) and Derek Curry (20) helped the visitors rally from 90 for 8 to 151 - two wickets each for Kumara, Boyd and skipper Alan Johnson. Ben Mills went cheaply but a third wicket stand of 95 between Jason Lynch (35) and Kumara settled the contest - Kumara's unbeaten 77 from 74 balls included 7 fours and 4 sixes.

Ballyspallen had little trouble reaching the last four with an emphatic 8-wicket win at Bonds Glen. Isaac Bird was one again front and centre as he took four wickets to bundle out the Bee Gees for 116 - 20's for Johnny and Sam Haslett. There were two wickets apiece for Stuart Kennedy and Kasigo Rapulana, and it was the South African who enjoyed himself with the bat in the chase. He hit 12 fours and one maximum in a 57-ball unbeaten 65, sharing an unbroken third wicket stand of 94 with skipper Stephen Kennedy (18*) after Kyle Moore (2-27) had struck two early blows.
