Richard Clydesdale and Lewis McNamara batted flawlessly and took the total to 119 before Clydesdale was caught, bringing young Robert Lyttle to the crease. This seemed to give the scoring rate another boost and after reaching his own half century with a six, Lewis achieved the significant milestone of his first Century as Donaghcloney finished on 236. This was always going to be a massive challenge for Derriaghy and by taking regular wickets Donaghcloney always stayed in control and ended up securing a great win by 94 runs, Robert Lyttle with four wickets was the pick of the bowlers.
