Muckamore won the top of the table clash as they beat rivals Templepatrick at The Cloghan. The Moylena side were in early trouble at 35 for 4, but were rescued by a 5th wicket stand of 105 between top-scorer Luke Allen (73) and Sathish Suresh (43), while skipper Neil Gill's run-a-ball 36 got then to 198. Matthew Palmer's 57 had the hosts in a strong position as they reached 91 for 1 in the rely, but they faded away to 159 all out - four wickets for Pavan Karthik, and three apiece for Sathish Suresh and Arnold Oduvelil.

Saintfield got their first points of the campaign as they beat Laurelvale by 59 runs. Gareth Harrison hit 7 fours and 3 maximums in his top-score of 69, but there was little support for the skipper in their 157. Adam Speers did the bulk of the damage taking 6 for 25, while there was three wickets for Michael Burns. Saints' Ethan Hanna then took a five-wicket hail of his own, supported by Mark Yeates as the hosts were dismissed for 98.

Fine all-round displays by professional Stiaan Swanepoel and Rodney Hassard saw Dundrum earn the points at home to Donacloney Mill. Peet Pienaar was in the runs again as DM posted 206. There were three wickets apiece for Liam Kearsley, Swanepoel and Hassard, with the latter two then combining for an unbroken 5th wicket stand of 115 in 23 overs, both making half centuries.

Another week, another Nicholas Serdyn century as Belfast beat Cregagh yet again. The keeper was once again the hero, hitting 12 fours and 6 sixes in an unbeaten 108 to lead his team to a four-wickets victory chasing 186. Ross Boultwood's four wickets for Cregagh were in vain, whose 186 was down mainly to a half century from captain Danny Cooper (56) and 36 from Paul Douglas. Sameer Mohn's 6 for 37 was also an important part of their superb victory.

Ballymena moved into second place in the table as they beat Armagh by 114-runs at Eaton Park. John Glass (56) and Jonathan Browne (55) both made half centuries as they shared a 5th wicket stand of 104 to get them to 242 for 7. Last week's century makers James Kennedy (22) and Glen Adams (34) had to settle for more modest contributions with the bat, but Adams did pick up five wickets with the ball as Armagh were bowled out for 128 - Michael Hoey's 34 the best of their effort.
