Leinster beat Knights, Leinster won by 70 runs

The Lightning came back strong and managed to end their losing streak. Early wickets was the key again and this time they didn't let the opposition get back into the game.

Little opening spell was excellent and once he got rid of Stirling you could see the Knights player deflate a little. Rock top scored from number six, but only four batters got into double figures

Little has just been named the player of the match, after picking up 3 wicket for only 8 runs, you would have been surprised if it was anyone else!

The Lightning will also be happy to have picked up a bonus point for the comprehensive win, moves them into second place in the table. Which means tomorrow we get another top of the table clash!

The Knights have lost two in a row now, yet as we know things can turn around quickly in T20. Lets see what tomorrow brings.

Hopefully you'll be able to join me again tomorrow for the final days play, until then this is Justin Smyth saying goodnight from Bready.
