In the match between Renegades and Wombat the latter won the toss and, after batting first, put on just 70 runs.
Shannon McKinney, in the middle order, anchored the Wombat innings with Damien Tarrant.
Tarrant top scored with 17 before he was bowled by Julian Drumore with McKinney reaching 16 before he was out, lbw, to Adam Swanston.
Ryan Chatfield, who also opened the batting for Wombat, was the only other batter to reach double figures, making his way to 11 as wickets regularly fell around him, before he was bowled by James Lockley.
Four of the Wombat batsmen made ducks with minor contributions made by Ajith Nedumattathil Kunju (1), Liam Humphryson (5) and Clayton Ross (3).
Lockley, Swanston and Wakil each picked up two wickets in a dominant bowling display which saw Wombat dismissed for just 70 in 26.1 overs.
Chasing such a modest total Renegades found themselves in early trouble with opener Jake Humphrey out for two with the score on just six.
That was to be just a minor scare with his opening partner Harminder Singh Wakil playing a match winnings innings at the other end.
Wakil's 46 off 79 deliveries, aided by a valuable 14 from Matt Godde and minor knocks from James Godde (4) and Bayley Blakwell (1) saw the Renegades reach the target three wickets down in just under 23 overs.
The match between Stockinbingal Country Club and Family Hotel Bulldogs Cootamundra was a high scoring affair with Stockinbingal batting first and setting Family Hotel 210 for victory off 40 overs.
Dashing performances at the top of the order from opener Isaac Mitchell (61) and Jack Caldwell (70) set the platform for Stockinbingal after Mitchell's opening partner Geoff Bush was dismissed for a duck.
Mitchell's 61 came off just 53 deliveries and included nine fours while his fellow destroyed, Caldwell, was a little more circumspect taking 85 deliveries to compile his 70.

Charlie Tucker picked up 3 for 44 off eight overs for Family Hotel and John Murray 2-25. Luke Levett 1-36, Scott Roberts 1-15 and Dylan Vivian 1-9 also picked up wickets.

He received good help from Luke Levett (29), Charlie Tucker (25) and Jordyn Ballard (21) but ultimately the task was too great, Family Hotel's innings finishing at 165 off 38.5 overs. Nick Holt (2-35), Steve Barton (2-22) and Harvey Holt (2-17) were the main wicket takers for Stock.
