Lisburn powered into the last four of the NCU Challenge Cup with a 58-run (DLS) win over Instonians.

A second wicket stand of 180 in 30 overs between Faiz Fazal and Nigel Jones set up the victory in a contest reduced to 41 overs per side.

Both players fell three short of their hundreds, with Jones clearing the ropes seven times in his 97 from 91 balls, while Fazal's innings included 10 fours and two maximums,

A target of 240 looked challenging and so it proved, despite runs for Shane Getkate (44) and Andy White (32).

Neil Whitworth claimed four wickets as the Wallace Park side set-up a semi-final clash at Carrickfergus on July 22nd.
