After the innings break, the Knights came out with one plan. To attack! When Carmichael and Topping were hitting the ball to all parts of the ground, the Reds might have started to get a little worried.
Yet the Reds bowlers kept to their task and took regular wickets to slow the Innings down. Ben White was brilliant with the ball and ended up with a five for off his final delivery.
The Reds have picked up their first win of the festival, and when they bowled the Knights out, it meant that they managed to pick up a bonus point for win. To join the Knights and Lightning at the top of the table
With 383 runs scored in the match, Stephen Doheny scored 150 of them and quite rightly has just been named as the player of the match. An excellent performance which will live in the memory for a long time.
It's been a full day of cricket here in the Mardyke and thank you for following along. The final day of the festival is tomorrow, I'll be back here at the ground and you should be too. Until then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodbye for now.
