Lurgan won the toss and elected to bat, with some tight bowling and sharp fielding the runs were slow in coming. With the introduction of James Mitchell, his first ball was blasted straight to the hands of Dylan Lyness who held it tight. There was then a regular fall of wickets with Mitchell finishing with the best figures of 2-14 from his four overs while veteran Robyn McClimond finishing 2-29. Andrew Morgan and Alan Harrison also claimed one wicket apiece.

Robyn McClimond and Matthew Bell got the reply off to a good start with 33 on the board before the first wicket fell. Waringstown started to lose wickets at regular intervals which put the run rate under pressure.

Andrew Gardiner and Alan Harrison kept the fight going, but after losing Gardiner for the top score of 27, and then Harrison caught a foot inside the rope for 17 with a shot that would have undoubtedly won the game. A few quick run outs left Waringstown 6 runs short of a win.
