McConkey scored 25 off 33 balls and later Carl Williams managed a useful 17 off just 19 balls as Lisburn stumbled to 90 for 8 in their 20 overs.

North Down soon got into their stride and all their top four batsmen contributed runs as they cantered to an 8 wicket victory in the 18th over.

Anderson top scored with 29 and the only bonus for Lisburn was young Adam Glass who bowled his three overs for just 15 runs and also claimed a wicket.

The only other wicket taker was Carl Williams with 1 for 12 off his four overs of spin.

The defeat meant that Lisburn finished the season with just six wins out of their 14 matches finishing in the bottom half of the very competitive 8 team Premier League.
