mins 3 36 At the half-way stage the Warriors would have felt that they had a chance to upset this Lightning team, although they would have needed some one to go deep. The Lightning bowlers made sure that it didn't happen as they chipped away at the Warriors batters taking regular wickets. The wickets were spread around the bowlers with Hoey ending up with four of them from his four overs. As well has his team picking up the win, Lorcan Tucker has also been named the player of the match. With the win the Lightning pick up four points for the win stretching their lead at the top of the table to 8 points. With only three matches left in this years competition, they will be be heavy favourites to retain their title. Those final games will be played on the 28th and 29th of July, so a little time to wait before they come around. Thnanks for following me over the last couple of days, and hopefully you'll be able to join me in a couple of weeks when the IP50 starts. This is Justin saying goodnight from Pembroke.
