Warriors finish with trip South

The North West Warriors will wrap up the 2020 season on Monday as they head to Malahide to take on 50-over champions, Leinster Lightning.

It has been a stop-start summer for Ian McGregor’s squad but there were definite signs of improvement in the reverse fixture at Bready on Tuesday. Nathan McGuire, Will Smale, Graham Kennedy and Graham Hume were all among the runs in that one and despite the defeat, there were positives to take from it.

Conor Olphert is included for the final match, having fully recovered from injury, and the Bready bowler is a welcome addition to the attack. That’s the only change from the Warriors’ recent squads as David Rankin remains on the sidelines having been ruled out of the earlier game at Magheramason.

It looks like a case of ‘into the lion’s den’ for the visitors on Monday but there would be no better stage, or time, for Andy McBrine’s side to find their best form.

Action get’s under way at 10.15 am and the Warriors squad in full is-
