Garfield-Tynong (3-150) def. Buln (7-104): Garfield-Tynong are on the cusp of the top four following their 46-run win over Buln, while the Lyrebirds slipped to a game outside of potential finals action after their disappointing run-chase.

Earlier in the day, Ray Evans (48) and Wayne Danks (40) did the bulk of the damage as Garfield-Tynong posted 3-150 from their 40 overs.

In reply, Harrison Moore and Cheshire were sent back to the pavilion early on, but once Sean Viotto and Christian Stacey settled at the crease the Crows had no reply. Viotto continued his excellent from with an aggressive
