Northern Knights and Leinster Lightning roar to final day wins in Cork
Cade Carmichael top-scored for the Knights, making an unbeaten 39 in the morning's all-Ulster clash — one of four players to pass 30. Ben Calitz provided the late impetus to their innings, clearing the ropes four times in a 12-ball 35, while Morgan Topping and Neil Rock each made 31 — the latter also hitting four maximums in a total of 175 for five. Graham Hume (three for 24) was by far the pick of the North-West attack on a pitch that offered more assistance than normal. The Warriors' chase was a poor one as they were bundled out for just 66 as their batting struggled from the outset. It was certainly a case of 'spin to win' with Instonians' left-arm spinner taking three wickets, as did fellow tweaker Carson McCullough. CSNI professional Sean Davey also claimed two scalps as Simon Johnston's side recorded their second bonus point victory of the week by a whopping 109 runs. They were joined at the top of the table by defending Champions Leinster Lightning, who showed they will still be the team to beat when at full strength. Munster would have been relatively happy at the midway stage after posting 166 for six, with former Ireland Under-19 captain Philippe Le Roux top-scoring with a 36-ball unbeaten 64 (six fours, three sixes) and Wednesday's centurion Stephen Doheny making 35. Pembroke's Gavin Hoey took four wickets in a fine exhibition of leg-spin as the Dubliner's bowling unit stuck to their task well. Any thoughts of a home win were quickly dispelled in a barrage of boundaries from the opening pair of Chris De Freitas and Tim Tector. Balbriggan left-hander De Freitas — widely tipped for international recognition — hit seven sixes and five fours in a whirlwind 70 from only 29 deliveries, sharing an opening stand of 118 in just 8.5 overs with Tector (45) to effectively decide the contest. Bakhtyar Nabi took three wickets, but it was only delaying the inevitable as Lightning won by six wickets in the 16th over. The teams are all back in action next week at Stormont for the second of four scheduled Festivals.

James McCollum and Morgan Topping inspire dominant Northern Knights success against Leinster Lightning
Chasing 154, Cade Carmichael hit a breezy 29 to get the NCU side off to a fast start before they were rocked by two wickets in an over from Matt Hollard. That was to be the end of the success for Leinster, as the Waringstown duo pummelled an understrength attack to all parts in a match-winning stand. McCollum top-scored with an unbeaten 65 from 36 balls (five fours, four sixes) while Topping cleared the ropes six times in a belligerent 58 not out that came from only 24 deliveries. The pair brought up their century stand in eight overs, and in all added 117 in just 52 balls to complete the demolition job. Cian Robertson was the pick of the Knights attack who did well to restrict Leinster to 153 for seven, with the left-arm Instonians spinner taking two wickets. Abidullah Taniwal hit a quick-fire 40 but it was too little, too late in a one-sided contest. Andre Botha's side will be glad of the return of their six Irish internationals for the rest of the Festival. It was a good day for the Ulster sides, as earlier the Warriors opened their account with a 29-run win against hosts Munster. Former Sussex player Sam Topping was the batting hero for the North West side, clearing the ropes four times in an entertaining top score of 67, sharing half-century stands with Andrew Balbirnie (26) and Jake Egan. Egan made an impressive 47 (two fours, three sixes), adding a further 55 for the third wicket with Scott Macbeth (34) as they looked set to post in excess of 200. However, the tail failed to wag as they lost five wickets in quick succession to finish on 191 for seven — three wickets apiece for John McNally and Josh Manley. The hosts' chase started poorly, with the Warriors taking some excellent catches in a superb fielding effort that reduced Munster to 101 for seven. It seemed the contest was all but over, but McNally had other ideas as he thumped three fours and four sixes in a 39-ball 64, adding 57 in just four overs with Bakhtyar Nabi (28). That left 34 needed from the last two overs, but McNally's dismissal was quickly followed by the run out of Nabi, giving the beleaguered Warriors their first win of the season. Meanwhile, the postponed Ulster Schools' Cup Final will be played on Wednesday at Pirrie Park (3pm). The decider features two sides with contrasting fortunes over the years in the blue riband format that was first played back in 1974. Holders RBAI are vying for a record-extending 14th triumph while at the other end of the spectrum, opponents Sullivan Upper are searching for a first victory. Sullivan's solitary appearance came back in 2010, when current Irish international Ross Adair scored a half century in a loss to Foyle and Londonderry College. Inst will be favourites with their line-up boasting five NCU Premiership players including skipper Adam Leckey. The CSNI and Ireland Under-19 all-rounder has been in prolific form in the competition, taking a hat-trick and scoring a century en route to the decider. It will be Leckey's fourth appearance in the Final, another record. Sullivan will need to be at their best and hope that the magic of the Cup goes in their favour against the powerful force that is RBAI.

West Indies beat Ireland by 197 runs to square up three-match series
West Indies (385-7) (Keacy Carty 170; Barry McCarthy 3-100) beat Ireland (165-8) (Cade Carmichael 48; Jayden Seales 3-26) by 197 runs (DLS method) On Friday the weather saved Ireland from the unenviable task of chasing down a mammoth West Indies total. They were not so lucky this time around. Replying to an even bigger score of 386, reduced to 363 in 46 overs by rain, Ireland's attempt was ugly. In just his second international innings, Cade Carmichael reached 48 before getting stuck looking for a maiden milestone, but that was as good as it got. West Indies wrapped up a dominant 197-run win to square the three-match series at one apiece, honours shared after Ireland's own dominant victory in game one before the rain scuppered things on Friday. The day started promisingly for Ireland, Barry McCarthy continuing his hex over Brandon King, dismissing the West Indies opener for the third time in as many matches. He added Evin Lewis for good measure, leaving the visitors two down inside five overs. READ MORE The fight back was something to behold. Shai Hope and Keacy Carty combined to put on 137 runs, the latter passing three figures in back-to-back matches. His effort of 170 anchored a late onslaught of hitting, Ireland's inability to take middle overs wickets biting them by opening up the Caribbean power game at the death. Justin Greaves added 50 runs off just 23 balls, Ireland struggling to contain the scoring rate at the small Clontarf venue. They were not helped by injuries. Debutant Jordan Neill bowled just five overs before suffering a nasty shoulder issue. Josh Little managed seven before tweaking something in his leg. Neither man emerged to bat later in the day, meaning West Indies needed to take just eight wickets for victory. Irish skipper Paul Stirling started the chase with the required aggression when needing nearly eight runs an over but he departed for 26. Jayden Seales accounted for him, Andy Balbirnie and Harry Tector cheaply, tearing the heart out of this Irish chase. Carmichael, Lorcan Tucker and George Dockrell all made contributions, but nothing close enough to the magic needed for a record victory. A pair of run outs only added to the ignominy, the West Indies wrapping things up with 16 overs still remaining. The Caribbean outfit now heads to England before returning to these shores in June for a three-match T20 encounter to be held in Bready Cricket Club.

Ireland name uncapped trio for West Indies games
Ireland have included uncapped trio Cade Carmichael, Tom Mayes and Liam McCarthy in a 14-man squad for the one-day series against West Indies at Clontarf later this Adair has been ruled out of the ODIs by injury but has been named in another 14-man squad selected for next month's three T20 contests against West Indies which will take place at two white-ball series will be West Indies' first games in Ireland since Stirling will captain Ireland in both series with the squads including Indian Premier League player Josh Little after he returned for the white-ball contests in Zimbabwe in Carmichael, who plays for Instonians and the Northern Knights, has impressed for the Ireland Wolves while McCarthy and Mayes will offer Heinrich Malan's squad new seam options in the ODIs which will be played on 21, 23 and 25 May at the Dublin venue. McCarthy remains in the Ireland squad for the T20s which which take place in the North West on 12, 14 and 15 June. Ireland coach Malan has previously enjoyed guiding the team to successes over West months after his appointment, Ireland secured a 2-1 ODI series win over West Indies in June 2022 before an eye-catching T20 World Cup victory over the same opponents in Hobart later that West Indies are far from the world-leading force they were in the 1970s and 1980s, Malan is still expecting tough challenges against squads laden with players who compete in all the globe's top franchise leagues."Obviously they have been very successful in the past and I think they've got a real push on to try and get back to those days. So we're looking forward to a very competitive series and hopefully it will be six good games of cricket."The last time we played them was in Hobart and we managed to get across the line and that gives us a nice bit of confidence." Ireland's shock 1969 win The last time West Indies visited the North West to take on Ireland was way back in 1969 with the hosts claiming a shock nine-wicket win at Sion Mills after bowling the tourists out for just 25 story goes that some good old Irish hospitality may have affected the West Indies performance 56 years ago, as Malan jokingly alluded to on Wednesday."It's no pressure on the lads up there in the North West to make sure that they have a good couple of nights when we arrive," smiled the Ireland coach. "But we are looking forward to playing at Bready against them."From a T20 perspective they've shown that they've got some real power with both the bat and the ball so we'll have our work cut out for us but we are looking forward to the challenge."
