In the Payne Tempero Cup match at St Kevin's College, 18 wickets fell for just 93 runs in a low-scoring match. Union won the toss, elected to bowl, and dismissed St Kevin's for 45 in 20 overs, with Matt Lilley (3-6), Daniel Martin (3-11), and Alex Wilson (2-9) starring with the ball.
Chasing a modest target, Union stumbled to 27-8 as Lloyd Fellowes (4-18) and Liam Direen (4-22) ripped through their batting. However, Union's ninth-wicket pair guided them to 48-8 in 23 overs, securing the win and the Payne Tempero Cup the third team to hold the trophy in as many weeks.
Albion claimed a solid victory over Glenavy in the Marshall Smith Memorial Trophy match. Batting first, Albion reached 208 all out in 50 overs, thanks to half-centuries from Sabareesh Ramesh (53) and Amal Asok (53), who shared a 101-run stand for the third wicket. Lyle Aichroth added an unbeaten 27.
Glenavy began strongly at 69-1 after 15 overs but collapsed as the wickets tumbled. Jeremiah Shields (34) was the fifth wicket to fall, and the final five wickets added only 23 runs. Amal Asok (5-30), Jikku Joseph (3-28), and Aneesh Bose (2-33) were instrumental in Albion's bowling effort.
Valley defeated Waitaki Boys by two wickets at Milner Park. After choosing to field, Valley reduced Waitaki to 20-3 before a 78-run stand between Jordan Horrell (65) and Harry Mavor (20) steadied the innings. Waitaki were eventually bowled out for 145 in the 24th over. Cameron Grubb (3-7), Jack Cameron (3-48), and Jake Matthews (2-36) shone with the ball.
Chasing 146, Valley battled to 148-8 in 48 overs, led by Angus Ruddenklau (37) and Jack Price (22), despite Joshua Miller (3-19) and contributions from Horrell (2-21) and Mavor (2-35).
