The U15’s lost by 44 runs to the NCU at Beechgrove, but there was better news for the U15 girls who won both their matches at The Rectory.
The Bready trio of Jodie Spence, Mansi Bhavsar and Sophie Hamilton all in the runs as they closed out a narrow 7-run win in the first game.
Millie Spence, Bhavsar and Hamilton were also in the runs in an exciting chase by the hosts, winning in the last over by six wickets.
