Hayden Lew and Gilbert Chaseling provided resistance in the run chase and made 46 and 39 respectively but Joe Crampton’s 4-14 helped roll Rugby for 147.
Andrew Gardiner also produced a standout indivudaual performance on Saturday, making 73 not out and taking 4-10 as ladder leaders Newtown Black eased past RSL-Colts Paramount.
Gardiner’s side was in trouble at 6-75 but he smashed his side to a competitive total of 7-215 from 40 overs. He and Malachi Dutchke (4-21) tore apart Paramount’s top order. Number 11 Bailey Collins (25) top-scored as Paramount was rolled for 73.
Shawn Townsend fell agonisingly short of a century on Saturday, making 99 for CYMS Green during a convincing win over RSL-Colts United.
Townsend was caught just one run short of his ton but he and Gavin Weekes (60) led the Cougars to 7-217 from 40.
Quincy Ross (3-19) and Bhupinder Singh (3-31) then did the damage as United was dismissed for 124. Nick Carwford top-scored with 40.
Rugby Red held off a valiant Newtown Gold at Lady Cutler South C. Batting first, Rugby Red had six players pass 20 in a total of 216. Dale Smith’s 33 was the top score while Newtown’s Trent Jacobsen bagged 4-31.
In reply, the Tigers fell short and made 195. Brad Freeth made 49 and led the chase but four Rugby Red bowlers took two wickets each in a strong team victory.
Newtown White proved far too strong for the battling South Dubbo Lemons at Lady Cutler South A.
Jarvis Simms (3-8) was a standout Newtown bowler as Lemons were rolled for just 124 and there were few worries in the chase.
Ty Webb fell early for 7 but then Bevan Charlton-White made 50 not out to guide his side to a strong eight-wicket victory.
RSL-Colts Coolbaggie scored the weekend’s most dominant win when crushing Macquarie by a massive 166 runs.
