Bonds Glen continue winning run
Gordon Cooke's side were playing their first ever Sunday match and took first use in front of a sizeable crowd and in ideal conditions. The former Ireland player has been behind much of Drummond's success this year and it was he who top scored with 37, as the Limavady based side made 114 for 9 in their 20 overs.
Leslie Curry, David Robinson and Colin Hall all picked up two wickets with the former's costing just 14 runs from his 4 overs.

Just when it was required however, Leslie Curry came to their rescue with a quick unbeaten 14, including a match-winning six in the final over to earn his side a cup win and himself the man-of-the-match award.
Drummond under the guidance of Cooke they are making rapid strides, this was their first final in 28 years and they are also well placed in the league a massive improvement on last season when they won just one game.
Under Cooke they are bringing a number of youngsters through and this augurs well for the future.
