Gary McClintock was part of the Donemana side which lost at Derriaghy in Sunday's Irish Senior Cup tie.

Coleraine lost 3-2 in a bowl-out at Merrion, while Strabane lost a last over thriller at Malahide by nine runs.

In the NCU, Donemana just failed to chase down Derriaghy’s 282 - 72 from skipper Ricky-Lee Dougherty and 51 from Ritchie McBrine got them to just 10 runs shy.

South African Test player Justin Kemp took 4 for 27 and Nigel Jones scored 73 not out as CIYMS knocked out Brigade, while Anthony Martin’s five wicket haul saw Drummond lose by seven wickets to Carrickfergus.

In Monday’s draw, which saw only two sides from the area still in the cup, saw Fox Lodge host YMCA and Eglinton entertain Waringstown.
