CIYMS players celebrate after winning the Irish Senior Cup and adding another trophy to a growing cabinet

CIYMS made it four wins in four Finals this year with a 225 runs thumping of NCU Premier League winners Lisburn to win the Irish Senior Cup for the first time.

It was the only trophy missing from the cabinet in Belmont and at the 15th attempt they not only reached the Final but won it in record-breaking fashion – the highest total in a decider, which included the joint-highest partnership and the biggest margin of victory.
