It might have taken a while for the Knights to pick up a win this season, but I'm sure that you'll agree that it was worth the wait! What a couple of the chases we have seen on the ground today.

With 849 runs scored on the ground today, Ross Adair's Innings was the pick of them. Record breaking and historic, his 111 is the highest score in IP20 history, and his innings took the game away from the Warriors.

You will not be surprised to find out that he has just been named the player of the match. What could the Knights have achieved this season if they had opened with him in all the games?

Sadly for the Knights, the four points doesn't take them off the bottom of the table, but it does mean that both the top teams lost, and the bottom teams won. What will tomorrow bring? Hopefully you'll join me in the morning to find out!

Until then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodnight from Pembroke
