Temora were late for the occasion due to a reliance on several junior cricketers, whose match ran overtime this morning.
Umpire Ric Becquet decided to limit the game to 30 overs each as it did not get underway until 2pm, though in the end neither side completed their innings.
Winning the toss and electing to bat, things started disastrously for the hosts when Ben Logue was out for a golden duck with just the second ball of the match.
From here things improved as captain Tom Grace and Tom Forster combined to put on 46 runs for the second wicket.
Wayward bowling did not help the visitors as they shipped 21, helping Wallendbeen to a competitive total of 101.
The home side were more tight with their bowling, giving Temora few chances as they laboured with only nine batsmen.
Temora reached 8/68 in the 25th over and never really looked like reaching the target, though Drumore impressed with a six and three fours to reach 25.
James Dallas was the pick of the bowlers with 3/16 from seven overs, and Ryan Breese was also handy with 3/17 from six.
Luke Izzard was very economic, 1/10 from six.
Meanwhile at Albert Park, the Family Hotel Blues easily accounted for Commercial Phoenix.
