An outstanding batting performance from William Porterfield led the North West Warriors to victory over Munster Reds at The Mardyke as almost 600 runs were scored in the Inter-Provincial Cup clash.

Former Ireland captian Porterfield took a few overs to find his touch before playing a near-faultless innings of 110 from 123 balls. He hit 14 fours and two sixes as he led from the front and guided the Warriors to what ended up a comfortable victory.
