It was probably right that Harry Tector scored the winning runs. It was a excellent partnership between the two Tector brothers that steadied the ship after the Lightning lost those two early wickets.

The Warriors tried to pry out wickets by using their most experienced bowlers, although the Lightning batters did well to see them out, and punish the others.

They didn take their time to get there but I guess that making sure that they secured the four points for the win to get their campaign off in the right way was the important part today.

George Dockrell has been named player of the match for his excellent all round display.

You'll be glad to know that the Interpro games come thick and fast in May, Thursday sees the next game at Stormont, when the Northern Knights take on the Munster Reds.

Hope that you can join me then, until then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodnight from Pembroke.
