Stirling and Adair came out to the middle and it looked like they just wanted to hit everything, and even though they weren't connecting with every shot, they did look comfortable.
Yet when 4 wickets fell for 10 runs, you could see that the Warriors felt that they had a chance of pulling off a victory. Yet Captain Rock once again came to the rescue of this Knights team and steadied the ship before powering them home.
Hume, Young and McBrine looked impressive with the ball, and brought a little bit of pride to the Warriors performance today. The truth is that they simply didn't have enough runs on the board.
By chasing the total down before the end of the 16th over, it means that the Knights pick up a bonus point and go 9 clear at the top of the table. One more point tomorrow means that they claim the title.
It's just been announced that Humphreys has been named the player of the match for his excellent bowling performance. About time that a bowler win's the player of the match, it's not all about the batters....
First game tomorrow is the Munster Reds against the Northern Knights, why don't you join me then to see if the Knights can win the title. Play gets underway at 11am tomorrow, so until then, this is Justin saying goodnight from Dublin.
