RSL-Colts boosted their chances of a top five spot on Saturday with a hard-fought win over Rugby Blue.

The majority of Colts batsmen impressed, but it was Wayne Cole who led the way and set up the win.

He scored 83 opening the batting while Pat Cuskelly chipped in late and made 52 not out.

Matt Naden (2-43) was the only multiple wicket-taker for Rugby Blue and he and Ayrton Holland (46) then got the run chase off to a good start.

Fred Walford played a starring role for South Dubbo Green at Lady Cutler South 3, hitting an unbeaten 66 to lead his side to victory.

A final wicket partnership of 44 runs between Eric Woolnough (36 not out) and Mike Jeffrey (19 not out) had earlier got Newtown Gold to 9-164 from their 40 overs.

Tom Mitchell (3-17) and Daniel Kennedy (2-17) were the pick of the South Dubbo Green bowlers.

The run chase was in real trouble when the Green Hornets were reduced to 6-66, thanks largely to Sam Whalan's 3-19.

Walford and Tim Morris combined to get things back on track and together they saw it out, with Walford finishing on a hard-hitting 66 not out while Morris was a handy sidekick and made 28 not out.
