Women's Premiership champions for 2024 are Fox Lodge (CricketEurope)

Fox Lodge had little trouble getting the win that guaranteed them the North West Premiership title.

They bundled out Newbuildings for just 47 with three wickets for Tanisha Hussain, two each for Lucy Neely and Blair, and one apiece for Kara Bates, Mollie Devine and Ella Moore.

Fox Lodge captain Hannah McLaughlin

The chase took 4.3 overs with Lucy Neely hitting two sixes in an unbeaten 21, while Sarah Black's 19 not out included three fours to wrap everything up before 8 o'clock.

Bready beat Eglinton by 7 wickets
Eglinton 66 (19 overs; Rea Moore 15; Kaylee Barnard 3-8, Jodie Spence 2-15)
Bready 67/3 (9.5 overs; Alana Dalzell 25*, Lucy McGranaghan 16)

Bready took on Eglinton hoping that Fox Lodge would slip up and allow them to pip them to the title.

That wasn't to be despite Bready keeping up their end of the bargain with a comprehensive 7-wickets win against an Eglinton side missing Zara Craig, who was in Dublin collecting a senior medal with Phoenix.

Batting first, Rea Moore's 15 was the best of the village side's 67 all out - three wickets for Kaylee Barnard, two for Jodie Spence and one apiece for the quartet of Sophie Hamilton, Millie Spence, Hannah McMorris and Corinne Young.

Lucy McGranaghan (16) and Millie Spence (10) put on 29 for the first wicket and Alana Dalzell' s12-ball unbeaten 25 (3 fours) ensured victory before the half-way point.

The damage in terms of the league though had been inflicted last week after they were skittled for 26 at the Foxies.
