T20 star Andrew Rutledge kicked off his bumper weekend in style, taking six wickets for Orange City in its 53-run win over Centrals Black.
City went out to bat first, putting together a 174-run effort that was helped massively by a huge knock from Lee Cornish (60).
Jamie Stedman (34) also starred for the winning side with the bat in-hand.
Centrals' innings with the bat was an absolute horror show as Rutledge took out a large chunk of their top order, leaving them 6/21 and in shambles.
Nic Freedman (44) was somewhat of a saving grace for Centrals Black but it was too little, too late, their efforts coming to an end in the 37th over.
Centrals Red was luckier than their clubmates Black, scoring an eight-wicket win over CYMS after the green and golds failed to make any inroads with the bat.
Matthew Tedeschi (4/17) helped Centrals keep CYMS to a total of 81 before the batsmen came out and did a job.
Kyle Nonnenmacher (24) topped the batting charts for his side although their wasn't much work to be done as the total was reached in the 19th over.
Kinross was the third team to score a victory as they scraped past Cavaliers by two wickets.
Cavs set a total of 150 and after struggling early on, Stuart Crisp (52) gave his side a leg-up, helping them track down the number in 35 overs.
Kinross' Henry Forsyth (5/25) was immense for the students, taking five wickets in more than seven overs of work.
After five rounds, Orange City is the only side yet to lose a game as their perfect record sees them sit at the top of the table with 28 competition points.
Kinross is an outright second with 21 points and a trio of wins to their name. Centrals Red rounds out the top three on 16 competition points, closely followed by the fourth-placed Cavaliers. CYMS and Centrals Black round out the table.
