Railway Union's Johnny Woods and Phillipe Le Roux (CricketEurope)

Railway Union lead the Championship after a 74-run win at home to The Hills. Park Avenue skipper Phillipe Le Roux led the way with a hard-hit 80-ball 85 (5 fours, 3 sixes) in their total of 264 for 9. Johnny Woods then took four wickets - the talented teenager a true sporting all-rounder who plays hockey and rugby to a high standard - while another youngster with plenty of talent, Sean O'Brien took three scalps in the convincing victory.

Terenure lost to North Kildare by 1 wicket
Terenure 264 (46.5 overs; Donal Vaughan 83, Raghav Grover 34, Sid Nair 30, Donal Lynch 29; Husnain Maroof 3-35, Abidullah Taniwal 2-42)
North Kildare 269/9 (45.3 overs; Bakhtyar Nabi 45, Husnain Maroof 43, Badeeu Zaman 39, Yashraj Mate 37, Sayed Shah 30, Abidullah Taniwal 30; Dylan Cleary 3-50, Kripesh Shetty 2-44, Jinal Khatri 2-50)

Terenure stay bottom of the table after a 1-wicket loss to North Kildare in the closest game of the day. Donal Vaughan made 83 in Terenure's 264 - boosted by an incredible 73 extras! Kildare probably didn't deserve to win after all those extras, but they did prevail with six players passing 30. They still needed their number 11 to clear the ropes to clinch victory in a tense finale.

Cork County beat North County by 85 runs
Cork County 174 (44.4 overs; Syed Aiman 31, Ben Marris 27, Thorne Prophet 25; Alan Mathew 3-28, Eddie Richardson 2-33, Ashish Jain 2-40)
North County 89 (30.4 overs; Eshan O'Sullivan 2-9, Suliman Safi 2-11, Nabeel Anjum 2-13, Mark Andrianatos 2-19)

Cork County knocked North County off the Championship leaders perch with an 85-run win at The Mardyke. Chasing 174, the Balrothery side were bundled out for just 89 - two wickets apiece for Eshan O'Sullivan 2-9, Suliman Safi 2-11, Nabeel Anjum 2-13, and Mark Andrianatos 2-19.

Civil Service lost to Rush by 1 wicket
Civil Service 198 (Arjun Chandrasekar 60; Asher Abbasi 2-25, Jarred Barnes 2-26, Nasir Totakhil 2-31)
Rush 200/9 (Josh Doyle 51, Asher Abassi 39*, Allan Eastwood 19*; Arjun Chandrasekar 4-53, N Khan 2-43)

Rush are in second place courtesy of a nervy 1-wicket win over Civil Service. Arjun Chandrasekar top-scored with 60 in the home side's 198, and then took four wickets as he threatened to derail the Kenure promotion push. Despite Josh Doyle's half century, Rush still needed 38 with the last pair at the crease. Asher Abbasi (39*) and Allan Eastwood (19*) got Rush home - a result you feel could well be critical come the end of the season.
