A nine-wicket win over Streethouse kept their chances alive as although they are still back in sixth they have a game in hand on all the teams above them and are only 30 points behind leaders Fairburn.

Kieran McIntyre was their man of the match as he claimed 6-38 from 12 overs. With Jason Mills also taking 3-32, Streethouse were bowled out for 113, Dylan Bowles (21) top scoring.
