The victory sees them maintain their challenge at the top of the league.

Fielding first a good all round display by Waringstown restricted Ballymena to 152.

Matt Allen, 3-29, was the pick of the bowlers, however a tight 10 overs apiece from Jason Stokes and Alan Harrison created the pressure mid-innings.

The run chase was fairly straightforward in comparison to a number of previous matches this year, and particularly the nail-biter of the Junior Cup semi-final of the previous week.

Steven Allen with a patient 57 not out and Alan Waite, 49, were the main contributors in the innings.

The team comfortably passing the total with eight overs to spare. Waringstown’s next match on Sunday, sees them take on Carrick at The Lawn in an important top of the table clash.
