In Newcastle District Cricket, Hamwicks look in control in the two day clash with Cardiff, Merewether already has first innings points against Belmont.
Toronto and Uni are both on top in their games, while Wests survived an early scare against Charlestown thanks to a Ben Woolmer century.
When Mark Curran picked up the wicket of Rhodri Evans, Wests were struggling at two for 17.
The Charlestown attack had Anthony Hobson in all sorts of trouble.
But a defiant knock of 48 by Shaun Hassall laid a solid platform as Wests moved past 200.
