Newtown's Mat Skinner said after taking on the captain's role this season he just wanted his side to play a simple game plan and it worked perfectly again on Saturday as the Tigers kept their unbeaten record intact.
Skinner continued his own impressive form as he made 93 in his side's total of 5-245 before the Tigers maintained pressure with the ball to bowl CYMS out for 179 and claim their fourth consecutive Whitney Cup win.
In the season's first round of one-day matches Newtown won the toss and batted and at the first drinks break things were looking even with the score at 3-89.
Skinner was joined by Nick Cushan at the crease and they began patiently but once settled the pair began to lift the run rate, with Skinner backing himself regularly to clear the short straight boundary.
The skipper passed 50 and the partnership soon passed 100 but with Skinner staring down the barrel of his second century this season he went for one big shot too many and was bowled by Dale O'Donnell.
Cushan made 61 before being caught brilliantly one-handed by Ben Strachan on the boundary but with wickets in hand the Tigers were able to play some big shots in the final overs and post an imposing total.
"It was huge to have wickets in the shed, especially coming into the last five or 10 overs in a one-dayer," Skinner said.
"I couldn't have asked much more from Nick Cushan, we batted awesome and turned the strike over and picked the bad ball. A few boys threw it away early but it's good we've got that depth to post a big score."
O'Donnell bowled well to finish with 1-28 form his eight overs while the leg spin of Ryan Medley claimed two wickets.
CYMS run chase began perfectly with Stuart Naden and Ryan Medley comfortably taking the score to 44 but the opening pair fell in quick succession when they were both caught in the deep.
The Tigers slower bowlers kept the pressure on, meaning key Cougars batsmen Strachan, Ben O'Donnell and Harry Brennan all had to play big shots.
Wickets fell at regular intervals and by the end of the match it was a fairly comfortable win for the Tigers, with youngsters Marty Jeffrey, Ben Knaggs and Tom Barber all getting a good chance to bowl.
"It was back to the way we won against Rugby and Colts, we bowled simple areas and fielded well, we slacked off a bit against Souths so was really good to see us back," Skinner said.
"Everyone is really enthused, we're getting everyone a bowl and we're all just loving it at the moment, good intensity in the field and it's all going very well."
