Round three of the Borton Cup was played on Saturday, with Oamaru crushing Combined Schools, Valley comfortably beating Glenavy and Union defeating Albion.
At St Kevins, Combined Schools won the toss and batted first but were then bowled out for a paltry 45 in 18 overs.
Sukhjinder Rana was in devastating form, taking 7-17 from 8.3 overs.
Oamaru cruised to an eight-wicket victory in only 12 overs, finishing on 48/2.
Glenavy, at home, won the toss and elected to bat against Valley in a clash of two unbeaten sides. They never really got going as the Valley bowlers took wickets regularly, and Glenavy were bowled out for 78 in 28 overs.
Jack Cameron took 3-16 and Jake Matthews 3-27.
In the chase, Campbell Fowler looked in a hurry despite the low target, making 47 from 32 balls. His efforts carried Valley to 79/4 in 14 overs and a six-wicket victory.
On the artificial pitch at Don Field, Union won the toss and also elected to bat first. Their batsmen fired, reaching 261/3 after 46 overs thanks to Jeremiah Shields (71), Alex Wilson (71), Archie Chatfield (44) and Sean Conlan (25).
Albion finally found some penetration in the final four overs, taking 5 wickets for 20 runs as Union tried to push the pace and finished on 281/8 in 50 overs.
Aneesh Bose was the main beneficiary of the late collapse, taking 4 wickets in 12 balls to finish with 4-47 from his 10 overs, while Jacob Davies took 2-50.
Albion were in trouble in their chase, slumping to 98-6 after 22 overs. Jaden Dowling (26) then joined Ravi Lalia, and the pair put on 80 to give Albion a glimmer of hope. But when Dowling and then Lalia (98) were dismissed, hope was lost. Bose added a further 29 as Albion were all out for 227 in 42 overs.
For Union, Mason James took 3-40, Toby Griffin 2-32, Liam Mavor 2-37 and Conlan 2-73.
