Brigade won the North West senior cup for the third time in four years after a comfortable 6-wicket success over Eglinton in a game forced into a third day by the weekend’s heavy rain.

The sides were fairly well matched over the course of the first innings, however, the Beechgrove side’s 48-run lead proved to be crucial as the villagers fell on their own sword in the second innings as they tried to force the pace.

At Strabane Park, the Sammy Jeffrey final went down to the very last ball after a titanic 200-over battle between Strabane and Glendermott in which the away side claimed the victory.
