When the Reds came out to bat, they were chasing down a huge target. They put in a huge effort to chase this down. There was solid scores all the way down the scorecard.

Matt Ford top scored with 57, although after he fell, Fionn Hand looked very impressive with 44 off only 24 balls, the Fionn Hand Appreciation Society would have liked that one!

The Knights rotated their bowlers well and both Mark Adair and Ben White picked up a couple of wickets.

The Knights pick up four points for the win and more importantly move to third place in the IP20 table. Jeremy Lawlor has been named player of the match for his excellent 81.

We have seen lots of great action over the three days here at Bready and I hope that you have enjoyed following along. One more festival to come, although we will have to wait until the middle of September to get that one completed.

Although hopefully you'll be able to join me on Wednesday as the two teams we have just seen will complete the IP50 competition at Stormont.

Until then this is Justin saying goodbye from Bready.
