Royals batted first to total 103 with the Umbers brothers, Vince and Alex, leading the way.
Vince top scored with a valiant 34 runs while Commercial Colts’ Mitch Wheeldon made a promising return to bowling by claiming 4-26.
Hayden Sealy, Toby Nash and youngster Josh Duffy caused plenty of problems for the Royals batsmen.
In reply, Commercial captain Peter Yelland (1 four and 1 six) gave his side a solid start as wickets fell around him to the good bowling of Phil Dunford, Blake Smith and Paul Dunford.
It took a determined innings from Ben Coultas (1 four) to guide Commercial to victory in a well contested match.

Royals 103 in 35.2 overs (Vince Umbers 34, Alex Umbers 14, Phil Dunford 10, Mitch Wheeldon 4-26 off 10 overs, Hayden Sealy 3-24 off 7.2 overs, Toby Nash 2-29 off 9 overs)
lost to Commercial Colts 8-105 off 33 overs (Peter Yelland 33, Ben Coultas 26, Hayden Sealy 11, Phil Dunford 3-29 off 10 overs, Blake Smith 2-20 off 10 overs, Paul Dunford 2-13 off 3 overs).
