Game of the day was at Coleraine, where Newbuildings required a Super Over to separate the sides and reach the final of the Faughan Valley Cup.

Coleraine had batted first and their modest total of 105 for 8 owed much to Matthew Hutchinson’s unbeaten 43 (5 fours) and 36 from Scott Campbell.

It looked woefully inadequate as Mark Hanna’ run-a-ball 34 (3 fours, 2 sixes) and 20 from Jared Wilson had the visitors on 71 for 2 just past the half-way stage.

To Coleraine’s credit they fought back tenaciously with Matthew Hutchinson taking 4 for 6. That left Newbuildings needing seven off the final over and when Gary Mitchell was run out off the penultimate ball, three were still required.

Jordan McCorkell managed to get two of them, run out trying to get the winning run. That set up the first Super Over and skipper Wilson scored all 14 runs off Scott Campbell.

Coleraine in reply managed 10, with Trent McKeegan conceding two singles from the final two balls to deny the Bannsiders.

Holders Brigade had little trouble progressing to the final after they beat Bonds Glen by nine wickets.

Replying to the home side’s 108 for 7, Ifty Hussain fell second balls of the innings, but an unbroken second wicket stand of 112 between David Barr and Adam McDaid ensured an easy win.

Both scored unbeaten 53’s, with Barr hitting 6 fours and 2 sixes, while McDaid’s run-a-ball knock included 8 fours and one maximum.

The Bee Gees innings never really took off with David Cooke almost batting right through for his 48, while there were 20’s for Raymond Curry and Johnny Haslett in what was a one-sided contest.
