Jemma Gillan was the star of the show for the Stormont side as she took 5 wickets for just 7 runs as Muckamore were bowled out for just 56. Eva Wilson (2-3) and Abi Leckey (1-11) were the other wicket takers.

Gillan then scored an unbeaten 24 from 23 balls (2 fours) as CSNI chased down their target in 8.1 overs.

They did lose four wickets with Amy Caulfield (2-18), Eve Kirkpatrick (1-17) and a Nikki Niblock run out getting the consolations for Muckamore.

A win against nearest rivals North Down in the fixture postponed last week end would see CSNI complete the league and cup double.
