Kale Bock (22) and Mitchell Russo (15) opened the batting for Newtown and were able to lay a shaky platform for what was to come, with Shane Smith (30) and Trent Smith (43) adding to the run total and Dan French (23) rounding out the batting with a contribution that put Newtown on 176/6.
Despite an enthusiastic start from the Colts, with Charlie Kempston (26) and Rupert Backus (29) both chipping in, another Mitch Russo run-out ended the Colt's efforts after Anthony Atlee sent packing at 168/8.
