Match Centre

Well wasn't that an excellent game of T20 cricket that we have just witnessed today between these two teams. When the Knights fell to 108 for 7, you wouldn't have thought that the Knights would have got close to the target. Yet an excellent partnership between Topping and Hunter for the eight wicket kept them in the chase. Ryan Hunter was excellent coming in at number 9 on his debut and will be hoping to keep his place in the team for tomorrow. Gareth Delany won't forget this day in a hurry. With his three wickets adding to the unbeaten fifty that he scored with the bat, not forgetting his excellent catch too. He has also been named the player of the match. The win means that the Warrior pick up four points and are now only four points behind the Lightning, which means that the competition is still alive going into the final day of the season. Tomorrow we have a double header, with the Warriors taking on the Lightning in the morning. It's a game that you aren't going to want to miss and hopefully you'll be able to join me then. Until then, this is Justin saying goodbye from Lisburn
