A comfortable win in the end for the Knights, avenging their loss against the Reds last week down in Cork.
The Reds chase got off to a poor start when they lost Stephen Doheny early, and even though there was scores from most of the top seven, they were always behind on the run rate.
McNally top scored with a well made 38 off only 24 balls, and the Knights bowlers spread the wicket out between them to claim the win.
The Knights pick up four points for the win and close the gap on the Lightning at the top of the table.
Ruhan Pretorius has just been named the player of the match.
Thanks for following along today, tomorrow sees the final day of this festival. Please join me then.
This is Justin saying goodbye from Stormont
