Scorecard summary
Leinster Lightning 306/7(50 overs)
2/67 (10)
Northern Knights 215/10(42.5 overs)
4/42 (8.5)

Once the Lightning managed to break the partnership between Getkate and Pretorius, they knew that they were into the tail and the Knights innings just fell away.

Shane Getkate played excellently for his 73, although as the bottom 4 could only score 5 between them, the Knights really didn't have a chance of chasing down that total.

The Lightnings bowlers were excellent with Captain Dockrell the only one not to pick up a wicket.

Simi Singh finished with 4, although the truth is that they really didn't seem to be able to cope with Little's left arm and it showed.

Lightning win by a massive 91 runs and they also pick up a bonus point. Which puts them a point clear of the others in the table. Not bad after only playing one game.

Three games left in the season, so hopefully the weather will be just as good next Tuesday as the Lightning travel up to Bready for their game against the Warriors.

Thanks for following my commentary today, this is Justin saying goodbye from a very sunny Comber.
