The Tigers all-rounder claimed 6-69 on day one against competition leaders Souths.

That six-wicket haul led to Souths being dismissed for just 146 and was the main reason Skinner's side was able to hand the Hornets their first loss of the season.

He now sits on 4.5 points following half points being given for the round two set of fixtures due to a washout.

Rugby duo Jordan Moran and Adrian Carey sit second, just a half point behind after they were both awarded points for round four.

Carey's 8-72 was the performance of the round and he collected three points against CYMS while Moran scored two for his century on day one.

Greg Buckley was the other player to score maximum points after his standout effort in Colts' clash with Macquarie.

After his side was rolled for 88, Buckley opened the bowling with his off-spin and snared 5-22 to help dismiss the Blues for just 80.

He then scored 67 in his side's second innings to make sure they reached the match total of 300 and scored maximum batting bonus points.

Tim Howarth got the two points for a very handy 29 runs in his side's first innings on a wet deck before he also took 3-28 with the ball.

Ben Taylor got the one point for Macquarie while Greg Kerr (2) and Mitch Bower (1) claimed the minor points in the Newtown-Souths match.
