Reedy Gold 5/153 off 30 overs (Ryan Dunn 37, Mitch Wright 31, Nathan Munday 29no, Jared Carty 28no, Tom Jackson 1/9 off four, Ryan Smith 1/20 off four) defeated Parkes Hotel Pythons 7/144 in 30 overs (Grant Gaut 42, Frazer Todd 35, Adam Ashford 16, Nathan Munday 4/4 off six, Jared Carty 1/28 off six) Reedy Gold (5pts) defeated Pythons (0pts) by nine runs.

Reedy Gold received good support from early order players Ryan Dunn and Mitch Wright before Grant Gaut took a stunning caught and bowled to dismiss Mitch Wright.

Nathan Munday and Jared Carty put on a quick fire partnership to boost Reedy Gold's total.

After losing the key wicket of Joe Van Opynen, Pythons players Grant Gaut and Frazer Todd batted with plenty of determination and good shots to have Pythons heading for victory.

Adam Ashford, Ryan Smith and Zac Hodges played shorter but valuable innings to keep their team in the game. Nathan Munday however proved to be the stumbling block as he produced the outstanding figures of 4/4 to bring victory to Reedy Gold.

At Woodward Oval: Parkes 6/340 off 50 overs (Jacob Harvey 80, Peter Yelland 79, Zac Bayliss 56, Anthony Heraghty 42, Myles Smith 32, Steve Walker 2/39 off 3 & Charlie Mitton 1/29 off 7) defeated Grenfell 9/37 off 13 overs (Brent Tucker 3/9 off 5, Jonah Ruzgas 3/16 off 5, Jack Barker 2/3 off 2 & Adam Parker 1/6 off 1). Parkes won by 303 runs.

After winning the toss and electing to bat Parkes openers Anthony Heraghty and Peter Yelland had to ward off some lively bowling from Grenfell's Zac Starr. With hot conditions prevailing the Grenfell bowlers began to tire as Heraghty and Yelland began to play a series of stylish strokes. 

The introduction of Zac Bayliss to the crease saw Zac play plenty of powerfully struck shots on his way to scoring 56 before he fell to a smart catch at mid-wicket. Peter Yelland highlighted his fine innings of 79 by smashing a big six however it was the power play of Jacob Harvey who scored 80 runs in less than an hour with some massive sixes that really boasted the Parkes score. Myles Smith, Mitch Cambourn and Anthony Riach all played a series of aggressive strokes to score rapid runs at the end of the Parkes innings. 

At no stage did the Grenfell team stop trying as they did their best to stem the flow of runs. In reply Brent Tucker (3/9 off 5) and the rapidly improving Jonah Ruzgas (3/16 off 5) crushed through the Grenfell batting line-up, before Jack Barker (2/3) and Adam Parker (1/6) mopped up the tail end batting to give Parkes a huge victory. Parkes are now scheduled to play Young in Parkes on Sunday to defend the Grinsted Cup.

At Spicer Oval

Railway Pitbulls 10/76 in 23.3 overs (Garry Dukes-Rankmore 35, Andrew Tanswell 17, Nic Parker 11, Max Maier 3/12 off six, Matthew Townsend 3/13 off 3.3, Mitch Hutchings 1/7 off three) defeated Galahs 10/44 in 13 overs (Mitch Hutchings 13, Garry Dukes-Rankmore 5/21 off six, Jake Brown 3/21 off six and Jacob Parker 2/2 off one). Pitbulls (four points) defeated Galahs (one point) by 32 runs.

Garry Dukes-Rankmore maintained his excellent all round form to inspire the Pitbulls to a comfortable 32 run victory over Galahs. Garry no doubt like to play at Spicer each week after his recent successes.

After top scoring with 35 runs out of a team total of 76, Garry captured 5/21 off six to combine with Jake Brown 3/21 and Jacob Parker 2/2 to give Pitbulls victory.

Earlier Max Maier (3/12) and Matthew Townsend (5/13) caused plenty of problems for the Pitbulls.

At Keast two

Bowling Club 3/345 in 30 overs (Shaun Bateson 193, Tom Bateson 77, Nathan Hessel 26no, Travis Spence 3/35 off 6) defeated Star Hotel 10/89 in 15.1 overs (Dane Thorn 28, Ben Townsend 19, Mitch Townsend 17, Maddy Spence 10no, Mitch Davis 3/7 off four, Michael McGrath 4/38 off four and Alec Bateson 2/3 off 2.1 overs).

Bowling Club (five points) defeated Star (zero points) by 256 runs.

After having little cricket in recent weeks due to byes and a forfeit Bowling Club demonstrated that they have kept their eye in by storming to a massive victory over a under strength Star team.

The Bateson Boys in Shaun 193 (13 sixes and 15 fours) and Thomas 77 (two sixes and nine fours) piled on 265 runs in 23 overs for the first wicket. The amazing batting will no doubt be well remembered by the Bowling Club side. Star's Travis Spence in taking (3/35) did well to stem the runs.

In reply, Star could not match the good bowling from Mitch Davis (3/7), Michael McGrath (4/38), Shaun Bateson (1/1) and Alec Bateson (2/3) despite handy innings from Dane Thorne, Ben Townsend and Mitch Townsend.

At Harrison Field

Rusty Buckets 5/160 off 30 overs (James Mackenzie 52, Josh Duffy 24, Hugh Mackenzie 19, Chris Orr 2/20 off 5, Dale Ingram 1/9 off two, Andrew McCurdy 1/14 off two) lost to Honey Badgers 4/163 off 26 overs (Dan Gordon 61no, Chris Orr 53, Nic Tosetti 1/12 off 4, James Ward 1/26 off 6). Honey Badgers (four points) defeated Rusty Buckets (1pt) by 6 wickets

In a well contested game the Honey Badgers after a number of close games eventually scored a good victory after they chased down the Rusty Buckets good score of 5/160.

The Rusty Buckets in batting first received a solid start from the Mackenzie brothers, Hugh and Nick. James Mackenzie 52 (with four fours) and Josh Duffy 24 boosted the buckets total. In reply, a third wicket partnership of 109 between Dan Gordon 61no (with eight fours off 61 balls) and Chris Orr 53 (with five fours and one six off 60 balls) guided the Honey Badgers to victory.

Cambridge 5/188 in 40 overs (Anthony Heraghty 95, Mitch Cambourn 62, Nathan Thorne 2/31 off eight, Al Lovett 2/44 off six and Nick Berry 0/19 off six) defeated Cowra Bowling Club 10/157 in 33.3 overs (Michael Curtale 40, Nic Thorne 31, Ross Graham 14, T Thaux 12, Shane Jones 5/19 off 8, Billy Porter 1/13 off four). Cambridge won by 29 runs

A rejuvenated Parkes Cambridge team bounced back to their best form to score a sound 29 run victory over the front running Cowra Bowling Club team at Woodward Oval.

Inspired by an impressive 95 runs from captain Anthony Heraghty and a brilliant bowling spell by the evergreen Shane Jones who returned the excellent figures of 5/19 off eight overs.

Cambridge indicated that they could well be in very strong premiership contention for the inaugural Lachlan Premier Cricket Competition including teams from Parkes and Cowra.
