There were emphatic wins in the rearranged National Cup matches for Derriaghy and County Galway.

At Queensway there was a barrage of boundaries for Derriaghy as they hot 32 fours and 22 sixes in their huge total of 383 for 4.

An opening stand of 137 in 18 overs between Matthew Halliday (63) and Ross Bailey (56) set the perfect platform and what followed was sheer carnage.

Morne Venter cleared the ropes 12 times, and also hit 8 fours in a savage 132 from just 55 balls, sharing a fourth wicket stand of 212 in just 16 overs with Craig Lewis.

Lewis clubbed 6 sixes and 6 fours in his unbeaten 74 from 51 deliveries, as the beleaguered Ballyhaunis attack wilted.

The visitors could only manage 135 in the chase, with runs for Arshad (36), Iqbal (23) and Akbar (23).

Wayne Hughes took 4 for 16, while there were also wickets for Curtis Moorehead (3-36) and Ross Bailey (2-36).

Derriaghy are home again in the second round as they entertain North West side Glendermott.

County Galway are also safely through after a 9-wickets win over Ballaghedreen at The Lydican.

Jayesh Juneja (2-9), Ramgokul Srinivasanni (2-6), and Prashanth Viswanath (2-28) all took two wickets as Ballaghedreen were dismissed for 94 - only Afzal (27) offering resistance.

The modest target proved no challenge as an unbeaten 48 from Sai Swaroop Burra sealed the comprehensive win in just the 15th over.

They now face UCC away in the second round on Sunday June 19th.
