Robinson Services Premier League

It is a pivotal weekend in the Robinson Services Premier League with the big game taking place at The Lawn on Saturday, as Waringstown play CIYMS.

The holiday weekend was due to begin on Thursday evening as CSNI were to host Armagh in a twenty over (Match 2) contest, which Armagh need to win to keep alive any hope of Premier League cricket next season. However, the match has been postponed due to concerns over possible damage to the International pitch for the Ireland v Afghanistan matches.

On Friday evening North Down play Carrickfergus at The Green in another Match 2 scenario.

There is a full programme on Saturday with Armagh travelling to Shaw's Bridge to play Instonians, Carrickfergus host Muckamore at Middle Road to complete their season, North Down take on CSNI at The Green and the top of the table clash between Waringstown and CIYMS takes place at The Lawn.
