Wow. What a way to start the first game of the new festival!

It just goes to show how close things can be in T20 cricket. After Lawlor was run out coming back for the second, the Umpire signalled that he hadn't tapped his back down in the crease at the other end. One short run was the difference in the game

With five overs to go the Knights looked dead and buried, yet both Neil Rock and Ross Adair kept on hitting the ball over the boundary.

Sadly they just couldn't scrape together that final couple of runs. Although it would have been nice to get to that Superover....

William McClintock has just been named player of the match for his excellent fifty in the Warriors Innings. Warriors also pick up four points for the win and are now five point clear at the top of the table.

If every game is as close as this one, we are in for a brilliant weekend. We now have a little break here before the second game of the day, as the Lightning take on the Reds. Hope you join me at 4pm for that one.

Until then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodbye from Bready.
