In Newcastle cricket, wins today for Waratah Mayfield and Stockton, while Charlestown avoided the wooden spoon.
Wests beat Uni, Wallsend dusted Belmont, while Hamwicks scored a controversial one run win over Merewether, after the Lions were penalised one over for a slow over rate.
Former Australia A quick Mark Cameron did plenty of damage, snaring the wicket of Matt Trappel.
Not long after, Cameron claimed the scalp of the big hitting Sam Webber, caught comfortably by David Celep.
Mark Dries kept the scoreboard ticking over, cruising past 50 in style.
When Sam Gilmour knocked over Hamwicks skipper Kirk Mullard, the Lions looked in control, but Merewether eventually fell one run short.
