And with that Lightning have retained the Inter-provincial Cup

While Porterfield was there, Warriors were right in the game but their lower order is not nearly as strong as Lightning's and that was the difference in the end

What a comeback by Kevin O'Brien. He conceded 28 off his first two overs and finishes with 3-34 in 5.1 overs, and also completing the final run out

And that ends the Irish summer of cricket so with congratulations to Lightning on winning their second trophy - George Dockrell is about to receive the award - it's goodbye for the final time from Rathmines
