CYMS and Macquarie were the only two RSL Pinnington Cup teams to play on Saturday after rain on Friday afternoon caused the other matches to be cancelled.
CYMS were sent into bat first by Macquarie which proved a good decision as the Cougars lost four quick wickets before Guthrie and Will Lumley got things back on track.
Guthrie was run out for 20 and Lumley was gone shortly after for 21 before Cooper Townsend and Campbell Watts combined to help CYMS post 8/118 from their 40 overs.
The wickets were shared around the Macquarie bowlers with Kyan Green and Chad O'Brien each taking two a-piece while Shane Groen, Jeremy Dickson and Luke Carman took wickets.

Glenn Healey and Ridge took the attack to the Souths bowlers early on in their innings as the two combined for an 89-run opening partnership.
