Munster produced the shock of the youth interprovincials as Seneth Sumanasinghe put the NCU U17s in a spin with a magnificent seven-wicket haul to clinch a famous three-run win

The NCU completed a convincing 154-run win against Leinster in a game that was remarkable because it had two hat-tricks.

A century stand between Owen McMillan and Callum Lowe, plus a six-wicket haul for Hridhaan Salian were the highlights as the NCU Under 13's won the opening match of their annual four-game Challenge Series at Ring Commons on Monday.

NCU Under 13's took a two-nil lead to ensure at least a share of the spoils with their Leinster counterparts.

Owen McMillan was in the runs yet again as the NCU took an unassailable 3-0 lead against Leinster in the Under-13 interprovincial series at Shaw's Bridge.

The Under 13 Festival got underway in the North West with the host's A-team just losing out by 13 runs against tournament favourites NCU, while Leinster had a convincing win over NW B.
