ST JOHNSTON SUFFERED two Cup defeats at the weekend, David Macbeth’s team bowing out of the Bank of Ireland Senior Cup and the North-West T20s.
On Saturday, they were no match for red-hot Coleraine at Sandel Lodge.
Roshen Siva took seven wickets, for the loss of just ten runs, as Coleraine comfortably dispatched the Saints.
St Johnston were bowled all out for 89, with David Lapsley making 44 to top score for the Donegal outfit.
Alan Macbeth’s 20 and Andrew Fleming’s 10 (Fleming is pictured above) were the only other St Johnston tallies of note.

Understrength St Johnston took on Bready on Sunday in the T20 competition, but Irish international David Rankin’s 99 – including 13 boundaries – led the way for the Tyrone men.
Bready made 190 for 1 with Rankin and Brian Crumley sharing 168 of that number.

This Saturday, they host Killyclooney in the North-West Championship in St Johnston.
