Full commentary
The Warriors batting display started off badly, continued to disappoint and finally collapsed in a heap.
With only three batters making it to double figures, four if you include extras, there was never any trouble of them challening the target. McBrine top scoring with 12.
The Knights bowlers shared the wickets with both Robertson and McCullough finishing off with three wickets. They certainly put the Warriors batters in a spin.
McCullough has just been named the player of the match, a fine award on the day that he picked up his career best bowling figures.
The 109 run win for the Knights means that they pick up their second bonus point win of the festival and another bonus point to boot. Moving them clear at the top of the table, never mind the huge net run rate boost.
An early finish means that we now have a couple of hours until the Munster Reds take on the Leinster Lightning, that's a game that you aren't going to want to miss. Starts at 3.45pm.
Until then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodbye from Cork.
