Lisburn travel to Lurgan tomorrow (Saturday) to play in the cup, and they will need to post a more than average score to beat a team on their usually excellent Pollock Park wicket.

They must look for much more runs from their early batsmen without leaving the task to professional Chetty and Lisburn’s player of the season up to now, Stevie Lazars.
