Lisburn will make a third attempt to begin their defence of the Premier League on Thursday against Instonians at Shaw’s Bridge after Saturday’s latest postponement at Cliftonville Academy.

The opening day fixtures from April 22 will be played as 20-over games and all the dates have now been confirmed.

The first of the rearranged games will take place at Stormont on Tuesday night (5.45pm) between Civil Service North and Derriaghy with two other games on Thursday, CIYMS v Carrickfergus and North Down v Woodvale. Those games are all due to start at 6pm.

The remaining fixture, between Cliftonville Academy and Waringstown, will take place next Sunday, and in another rearrangement, next Saturday’s scheduled fixture at The Green between North Down and Carrickfergus has been moved to next Holiday Monday to avoid a clash with the King's Coronation.

Monday’s  fixtures - Section One (12.00): Armagh v Cregagh, Ballymena v Dundrum, Donaghcloney Mill v Muckamore, Laurelvale v Templepatrick. Postponed: Belfast v Saintfield.
