Full commentary

Sadly the long tail of the Knights came back to haunt them, with Captain Dockrell coming back on at the right time to run through that tail. Although the Knights should take some credit on how they batted today.

You will be unsurprised to find out that Barry Mccarthy has been named the player of the match, his batting wouldm have probably been enough, with two wickets and a catch as well. It was well deserved.

The Lightning pick up four points for the win, missing the bonus point by about 20 runs, which would have moved them above the Warriors into second place on the IP50 table. Third it is.

Well that's the IP50 finished for this season, blink and you'll miss it. The game that everyone forgot, will be remembered fondly in these parts with the hometown hero's innings going down in history.

Don't forget that we are back in Pembroke at the end of the month for the final IP20 festival of the season, so I hope that you'll be able to join us then

The seagull is saying that we all need to go home, so that's what we should do. This is Justin Smyth saying goodnight from Dublin!

When Neil Rock and Cian Carmichael were in full flow, you could see that the Lightning were worried. Yet they were able to turn back to their experienced bowlers to make the breakthrough.
