Strabane lost to Newbuildings by 81 runs
Strabane Park, 12 July.



Newbuildings are right in Donemana's slip stream after a convincing 81-run at Strabane. A solid batting effort saw them post 220 with Gareth McKeegan top-scoring with 48 (3 fours, 4 sixes), while Ryan Hunter hit five boundaries in his 36. Ross Dougherty made 20, while there were also late runs for Charlie Downey (22) and skipper Ross Hunter (23*). John Mooney (3-27) was best with the ball, while there were two wickets each for Andrew Mullen and Subhan Shirzad. Aaron Gillespie hit 6 fours and a maximum in a fluent 42, adding 56 for the second wicket with Rhys Logue (28). However, the game changed with Peat Salmon and Ross Hunter taking four wickets apiece. Some late blows from John Mooney (48) got Strabane a bonus point but the result was never in doubt.
NW Premiership
Bready beat Coleraine by 8 wickets
Magheramason, 12 July.



Bready continued their recent revival with an emphatic eight-wicket win at home to a Coleraice side whose title hopes are fading by the week. The Bannsiders were bowled out for just 108 with only Craig Averill (24) offering any resistance. The wickets were shared with three for Gavin Roulston, and two apiece for left-arm teenager Travis Faulkner, Conor Olphert and Josh van Heerden. Bready's reply saw two wickets fall in Stephen Hutchinson's opening over, but David Rankin and Van Heerden soon settled the nerves. Rankin made it back-to-back 50's hitting a 56-ball unbeaten 68 (12 fours, 1 six) as he and Van Heerden - who hit 8 fours in a 39-ball 43 not out - added 112 in 16 overs to clinch a win that takes them into mid-table.
NW Premiership
Ardmore lost to Brigade by 3 wickets
The Bleachgreen, 12 July.



Brigade won the tightest game of the day, with skipper Andy Britton and Ryan Barr getting the six runs they needed off the final over to seal a three-wicket win at Ardmore. David Barr hit 7 fours and 2 sixes in a top score of 89, adding 99 for the second wicket with Adam McDaid, who hit 9 fours in a fluent 60. There was a mid-innings wobble as three wickets for Bobby Brolly and two for Vivek Dwivedi made things interesting. Simon Olphert (25) and James Smallwoods (20) along with Barr always had Brigade ahead of the game, but it was much tighter than they would have liked. Earlier, Ardmore's 226 for 8 owed much to Harry Zimmermann, who hit 10 fours and 3 sixes in his 107. He added 74 for the third wicket with Junaid Ali (33), and dominated a 7th wicket stand of 79 with Phil Patterson. Ifty Hussain took four wickets against his old club which keeps Brigade's outside title aspirations alive.
NW Premiership
Donemana beat Eglinton by 7 wickets
The Holm, 12 July.



Gary McClintock's unbeaten century ensured leaders Donemana got back to winning ways as they made light work of chasing down Eglinton's 222 to win by seven wickets. Eglinton skipper Jamie Millar top-scored with 57 (4 fours, 4 sixes), while Andy Millar hit 5 fours and 2 sixes in his 44. There were runs down the order too as Mark Averill made 32, and Jack Martin clubbed four sixes in his 25. Dave O'Sullivan took a hat-trick, while there were two wickets each for Andy McBrine and Levi Dougherty. Skipper McClintock hit 11 fours and 7 sixes in his 87-ball unbeaten 109, sharing stands of 76 for the third wicket with Anuj Jotin (38) and an unbroken 94 for the fourth with Andy McBrine - whose 53 not out from just 33 balls included 5 fours and 4 sixes. The Holm side go into the second half of the season in prime position now to defend their title having opened up a gap from the chasing pack. There are sure though to be a few more twists and turns before the end of the summer.
NW Championship
Burndennett lost to Glendermott by 9 wickets
Burndennett, 12 July.

Mills and Jake Montogmery ensured maximum points with a second wicket partnership of 57. The home side's 212 owed much to Rahmatullah's 57 (8 fours, 1 six), and a rapid 44 from Niall McDonnell (3 fours, 4 sixes). Ben Mills took four wickets and Curtis Ross three in a fine bowling effort.
