NW Warriors Clinch Trophy Following Abandonments

The North West Warriors are the winners of the 2014 Newstalk Inter-Provincial T20 Trophy following the abandonment today of both scheduled fixtures.

Torrential rain in Dublin on Saturday meant the ground at Pembroke was saturated, and the umpires abandoned the first game between Leinster Lightning and Northern Knights on arrival at the ground this morning.

Despite the best efforts of all the ground staff, the second winner-takes-all game between Leinster and NW Warriors suffered the same fate, following a pitch inspection at 1.15pm.

The NW Warriors top the table on 11 points, followed by Leinster Lightning on 8, and Northern Knights on 6.

The next game in the Newstalk Inter-Provincial Series is the three-day Championship clash between Northern Knights and Leinster Lightning at Waringstown from August 12-14.
