Terenure's miserable season continued as they were crushed by a merciless North County by 10 wickets at Inch.

Batting first, Terenure were unable to come to terms with the seam attack of the Fingal side, as only Donal Vaughan's 21 saved them from a worse fate than the 62 they managed to cobble together.

John Mooney (3-14) was again in the wickets, with Abdul Ghaffar also taking three scalps, while there were two apiece for Andrew Sheridan and Usman Azhar.

Niall McGovern didn't mess about in the chase, as he hit 6 fours and 3 sixes in his half century from only 35 balls. He and Sean Rooney (11*) passing the modest target in the 11th over without loss.

Llew Johnson's dream season shows no season of diminishing as he took his tally for the campaign well past 600 to help Rush to a convincing six wickets win against Leinster at Rathmines.

Chasing 128, Johnson dominated the reply as he hit 12 fours and a six in his unbeaten 80 from just 83 balls to steer his side over the line just past the halfway point.

Ben Mitchell (2-17) struck two early blows, but Johnson was the immovable object as he added 60 for the fourth wicket with Aaron McGuire, who made nine.

Earlier Asher Abbasi had claimed four wickets and Daniel Coffey three as Leinster's batters found the going tough, with the exception of skipper Bilal Azhar (38).

Rush will be amongst the favourites for promotion on this form, and if Johnson continues to score heavily, who would bet against them?

Cork Harlequins' struggles in the Championship continued as they were blown away by a magnificent seven wickets haul for Abdul Sattar.

Sattar claimed 7 for 14 as the Munster side managed just 60 chasing 225 - Seanan Jones' 22 the highlight of a poor effort.

Kaustabh Pawar top-scored with 64 as The Maws side reached 140 for 2 - runs too for Khawaja Siddiqui (45).

Four wickets apiece for Ru Jones and Dawan Mehta saw Harlequins come back strongly, but alas ultimately in vain as Kildare made it two wins for two.

Railway Union's trip to the Mardyke was a successful one as Kenny Carroll yet again was the cornerstone of a seven-wickets win.

Carroll hit 8 fours and cleared the ropes 3 times in an unbeaten 84 as his team made light work of a 174 target.

He shared a third wicket partnership of 93 with Hashir Sultan (51) that all but settled the contest.

Earlier, Cork County recovered from 27 for 4 to reach 173 thanks to a fifth wicket stand of 94 between Sukhpal Singh (60) and Abdul Ghaffar (50).

Hamza Maan impressed with 4 for 36, while Alan Matthew claimed three victims in an impressive all-round display by Railway.
