North Shore defeated Mitchell by 12 runs in a tight affair yesterday at Glenroi Oval.
Kieran Dean top scored for North Shore, plundering 53 of his team’s total of 135.
Despite a fighting 63 from opening batsman Max Powell the locals fell short, bowled out for 123.
At Riawena Oval, Parramatta demolished Camden by 69 runs.
Batting first, Parra piled on 5-215 from their 50 overs, with Hayden Goulstone raising the bat with 54.
The Parramatta bowlers then shared the wickets around and, despite Ji Mills knocking up 40, Camden was bowled out for a valiant 146.
Two all-round individual efforts were the highlight as Dubbo (8-153) took on Wagga Wagga (8-155) at Jack Brabham 2.
James Nelson’s 34 and 3-20 wasn’t enough to lead Dubbo to a victory, as Jack Carey (44 not out and 2-13) bested him, leading Wagga to a two-wicket win.
Penrith’s Jarrod Burns snared 4-25 in an explosive spell, helping his team bowl Illawarra out for 82 after posting 153.
