pushes the ball towards mid-on and sets off for the run. If the fielder had picked up the ball cleanly, Harbinson could of been in trouble. He didn't and the Lightning win
Warriors vs Leinster, 5th Match at Bready, INTER-PRO, May 23 2023 - Match Result
Leinster won by 3 wickets (with 28 balls remaining)
The hoodoo that the Lightning have over the Warriors continues. It was tough to score runs out there and it always felt that the Lightning were grinding there way to the win.
Only four of their batters got to double figures but the runrate never went out above four for the whole of the innings. The Warriors bowlers just couldn't create enough pressure with the ball
Harbinson held the innings together and ended up top scoring with 48, add in his two wickets and you would think that he has a chance to be announced as the player of the match.
The Warriors had their chances and didn't take them. With at least four catches going down, I'm sure that they will rue not picking up their maiden win over the Lightning in the IP50.
The Lightning finally get a win this season, and pick up four points. Although with half the games this season already played, they are going to have to win out from here to win the title.
Sam Harbinson has been named the player of the match, not a bad debut.
Thanks for following along today, the next game is this Thursday back here at Bready, when the Knights are the visitors. Hopefully you'll be able to join us then. Hopefully the weather will be just as good then.
This is Justin saying goodnight.

Oh that looks painful! Short ball from Young, McCarthy pulls the ball down onto the standing leg and immediately falls to the floor. The ball hit an part of the leg that was unprotected, that's going to be a bruise in the morning...
