CI continued their perfect run in cup competitions this year with an six-wicket victory over Cork Harlequins, marking their fourth trophy of the season.
And they’ll be looking to round off an already remarkable campaign by making it five in the Irish Senior Cup final against Lisburn next weekend.
After winning the toss and electing to bowl, CIYMS captain Nigel Jones could barely have wished for a better start as overseas professional Keith Dudgeon (4-10) bowled Harlequins skipper Matthew Brewster for a golden duck with the second ball of the game.
Dudgeon has enjoyed a brilliant first season in NCU cricket at Belmont and was back amongst the wickets in his next over as Mubeen Ali (1) guided a leg-side delivery through to wicketkeeper Chris Dougherty to leave the hosts in all sorts of early trouble at 8-2.
