Full commentary

The Warriors came out with a gameplan to be aggressive and that's exactly what they did. Porterfield lead from the front and anchored the Innings, letting the other's go for the big shots.

Every single one of the Warriors batters went at more than a run a ball, with Getkate coming in at the end to blast away.

The truth is that the Lightning never had enough runs on the board to set a challenging total. Early wickets would have certainly started some nerves in the Warrior's camp, not to be though.

The size of the victory showed the difference in quality between the two teams on display today. Winning with more then 6 overs to spare means that the Warriors also pick up an extra bonus point with the win.

Conor Olphert has just been named player of the match for his excellent spell of bowling.

For the North West Warriors, the win was all that matters and they deservedly finish the season as IP20 champions. Congratulations to them.

Well, as the season draws to a close. I just want to talk you for following along all season. It's been a pleasure to bring you all the action throughout the summer. I hope that you winter well, see you next year?

This is Justin Smyth saying goodnight from Comber.
