Lazars steps into the shot and gets an inside edge on the ball, hits the pad and takes it fine past the keeper. All the fielders were in close and can't stop it, the Warriors win!

Full commentary
It did look a long way back for the Warriors when the Knights had reduced them to 10/3.
Yet a 65 run fourth wicket partnership between Johnny Thompson and Andy McBrine lay the foundation to the win.
The Knights bowlers weren't able to apply any sustained pressure to the batting, when ever the Warriors needed a big hit, the bad ball would come.
So the Warriors pick up their first win of the competion and move into second place in the table, on six points.
With the Lightning completing a 59 run win over the Munster Red's, to stay unbeaten and pick up a bonus point for the size of the win. Moves the Lightning into a 8 point lead at the top.
With the next round of matches to be played next week, there is still alot to play for.
Although we will only have to wait until Tuesday for the next Interpro game, when the Warriors will travel down to Wicklow to play the Lightning in the IPC.
So hopefully you will be able to join me then for coverage of that game, until then this is Justin Smyth saying goodnight from Strabane.

on legstump and its swept hard towards the square leg boundary. The fielder follows the ball back and jumps up to try and grab the ball back in. Can't get up high enough and it goes all the way, nice way to get off the mark!
