The weather meant Bowning Oval became a bowler's paradise and the Yass side wasn't up for the challenge, notching just 109 before they were bundled out.

Beau Walker was chief destroyer for the Buffaloes, taking four scalps for just seven runs off nine overs.

Angus Bennett-Burleigh and skipper Andrew Swaffield also contributed with a couple of wickets each.

The Pirates came out firing with the ball and took the early wickets of Dave Brown (0), AJ O'Mara (4) and Andy Currell (4). But it proved too little too late and despite getting the in-form Mark Dyball out cheaply, a partnership between Beau Walker (21) and Andrew Swaffield (61 n.o) got the Buffs all but over the line.

The 61-run knock continued the captain's stellar form and kept him at the top of the competition's leading run-scorer list.

The clash between the Snipers and the Golf Club got just ten overs old in Bookham before rain forced a draw. 

The match between Harden and Boorowa suffered the same fate.

In the Sweeney Cup the Yass Soldiers Club Horns batted first against Dalton and a solid partnership between Joe Logue (28) and Ed Ngatai (23) helped them to a 126-run total. 

While Nathan Apps (32) started the run-chase off solidly he received minimal support from his teammates, with the possible exception of Brett Newman who posted 17.

Joe Logue then dominated with the rock, taking four wickets on the Dalton pitch, and the home-side was bowled out nine runs short.

In the only other Sweeney Cup game that was completed Murrumbateman posted 122 for the loss of just three wickets off its allotted overs. It was too great a prospect for Bookham away from home and despite a strong display from opener Brad Hazell (42), the Bulls were were all out for 112 runs off 31.2 overs.
