Doheny Innings was a cut above any other batter here so far today. A mixture of big hitting down the ground and rotating the strike, meant that he has equalled his highest T20 score.

The truth is that the Knights bowlers couldn't create the chances that they needed to to restrict the Warriors. So the defending champions have got the new campaign off to a perfect start.

In fact the Warriors missed out on claiming a bons point by only three balls. Doheny has quite rightly been named as the player of the match.

We now have an eighty minute wait until the start of the second match, so hopefully you'll join me then for the Lightning vs Reds. Until then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodbye for now from Comber.
