Muckamore claimed the NCU T20 Trophy with a 7 wicket win over Ballymena at The Lawn.

Chasing 149, they were given a quick start with an opening stand of 46 in 27 balls between Ewan Wilson (27) and Kyllin Vardhan (10).

The defining stand though was the third wicket one of 90 in 12 overs between Man-of-the-Match Ben Calitz and Luke Allen.

Calitz top-scored with an unbeaten 56 from 38 balls (7 fours), while Allen made a more sedate 30 as they clinched the win with 11 balls to spare.

Ballymena's total of 148 for 7 was based mainly around an opening stand of 87 in 11. 4 overs between Glen Adams, who hit 3 fours and cleared the ropes four times in his 60 from 40 balls, supported by an even time 43 from John Glass.

Satish Suresh took three wickets, while Trevor Britton's 1 for 18 did much to stall the Eaton Park's acceleration hopes.

So, one trophy in the bag for Muckamore, with two more very much in their sights as they are in the National Cup final and sit proudly at the top of Section One.
