Munster Reds finished their T20 Trophy campaign on a winning note as they beat NW Warriors by 6 wickets at Bready.

Batting first, the hosts were given a good start by the opening pair of Stephen Doheny who top-scored with 30 (5 fours) and Gavin Roulston (27) who added 69 in 9 overs.

Hopes of a 160 plus total fell apart though as the wheels came off in yet another disappointing batting effort as the perfect platform was squandered.

Hills' left-arm seamer Matthew Weldon overcame a nervy start to claim 2 for 16, while Curtis Campher and Josh Manley both claimed 1 for 22 as Warriors limped to 131 for 6.

The chase saw Brandon Kruger trapped in front without scoring by Graham Hume, while Mark Adrianatos (19) fell in similar fashion to Ryan Macbeth.

Swapnil Modgill made a fluent 30 (2 fours, 2 sixes) before being brilliantly run out by a direct hit from Scott Macbeth.

That was from the 10th ball of an eventful 9th over, started by Conor Olphert who bowled six balls, only two legitimate before leaving the field, the over finished by Jared Wilson.

When skipper Andy McBrine accounted for Munster counterpart PJ Moor the next ball, the game was in the balance at 60 for 4 approaching the halfway stage.

However, Curtis Campher hit a 27-ball half century (4 fours, 3 sixes) sharing an unbroken 5th wicket stand of 77 with Ollie Metcalfe (22*) to seal the win with 7 balls to spare.

The teams meet again on Thursday when Munster will be looking for a win to give them a chance of the title.

It's been a poor campaign for the Warriors who are bottom of the 50 overs Cup table, but at least had the consolation of avoiding the wooden spoon in the T20 Trophy. Their NRR of -2.06 fractionally better by 0.08 from Munster's -2.14.
