Derriaghy exit Challenge Cup at the first stage
After two wash outs this was the final opportunity to get a result - a T20 game.
The visitors batted first and found nearly all 7 bowlers used to be in good form as they struggled to make 104 for 7 with P Bell, W Hughes and Alfie picking up 2 wickets each.

At this stage New Zealander Mitch Dickenson decided to put his mark on the game removing the dangerous Lewis for 35 (his innings included 3 x 6s) and then Kenny and Cumins in the same over.
Alfie went in the next over for 27 leaving the home side at 84 for 6.
Dickenson then picked up 2 more in his final over to finish with figures of 5 for 21 giving him the man of the match award.
With no lower order resistance Derriaghy were all out for 90.
This unexpected defeat means a free Saturday for the Queensway men but they are back in league action away to Academy on Sunday.
