Newbuildings are the North West Champions for 2022 after Jared Wilson’s side beat Ardmore on Saturday to seal their first ever senior crown.

The Foyle View outfit went into the game knowing that a bonus points win was required against Ardmore to see them claim the big prize and they duly did just that, after the obligatory second-innings scare of course.

Batting first, the home team made 251 all out but then had their total boosted to 263 after Ardmore were penalised for a slow over rate as they claimed a 37 runs victory.

Eglinton beat Fox Lodge by 18 runs in the day’s other Premier League game.

The League 1 Cup final turned out to be a somewhat one-sided affair as Donemana IIs beat the Nedd at Glendermott by an innings and 70 runs.
