Newbuildings made the perfect start to Senior Cup final week by beating Brigade in yesterday’s Faughan Valley Cup final and will go on to represent the North West in the Irish T20 Cup semi-finals on Sunday week.

Despite being bowled out for 149, Johnny Thompson and Ross Hunter each took two wickets as Brigade slumped
to 53 for five and then Gary Mitchell completed a remarkable four-over spell with four wickets in his last seven balls to bowl out last year’s Ireland European Cricket League representatives for just 72.
