After winning the toss and electing to bat Leagues got to 26 before the loss of Teao Woetai (12) to a run-out and Ted Jones (3) to the bowling of Angus Kennedy (1/18) put them on the backfoot.

Other than Teei Piawi (41) and Shane Makea (11) no other Panthers batsmen were able to make starts with Jamie Bennett (2/16), Andrew Potter (2/31) and William Dalton (3/16) doing the damage with the ball as Leagues were bowled out for 112.

Coro had trouble seeing off the bowling of Piawi (4/14) as he kept the Coro side under wraps, with Brett Crooks (14), Justin Moat (12) and Dalton (10) the only Cougars to break double digits as they were bowled out for 75 to hand the Panthers a 37-run win.

Exies Eagles were able to bounce back from their opening round defeat with a four-wicket win over Hanwood at Exies No 2.

The Eagles were able to make an early breakthrough with Josh Davis (1/10) taking the wicket of Zac Ruediger (2) before Jamie Whitworth (20) and Jaryd Day (7) restored some stability.

The introduction of Pavan Cherupalli (3/37) caused issues for the Hanwood side as they lost three quick wickets. Neil Geltch (19) was the only other Hanwood batter to get a start with Jimmy Mann (4/8) ripping through the Hanwood lower order to see them bowled out for 78.

The Exies top order laid the foundation for their side with Travers Pickmere (22) and Scott Campbell (24) making early inroads.

While Sam Robinson (2/17) and Shannon Caughey (3/15) took wickets to put the pressure back on Exies, they were able to ease their way past Hanwood's total in just 15.3 overs to take out a bonus-point win.

Coleambally will receive the points from their clash with Diggers after Diggers were forced to forfeit the game due to player availability meaning they will lose three points.
