Wallabadah won the other game, defending 6-122 to end Imperial Sharks’ three-game run.

The top three did the leg-work for Wallaby, with Aaron King hitting 26, opening partner Hayden Montague 34 and Andrew Cohen 34.

Things dropped off after them, with Matt Parsons the next best with nine.

Zac Radcliffe (2-21) was the only multiple wicket-taker for the Sharks, with Chris Saunders (1-25), George Cudmore (1-27) and Brock Robinson (1-14) all nabbing a wicket each.

Missing chief run-scorer Tom Tanner, the Sharks could then only muster 6-95 in reply.

Former Cronulla Shark Lindsay Bowne was their top scorer with 22, just pipping Radcliffe (21).

They were into the action pretty early on, with the top three all failing.

Lobsey was a big reason for that and claimed 2-9 from his four.

Elliot Tourle (2-19) did the damage at the other end, with Andrew Cohen and Ben Shaw sharing the other two wickets.

Earlier, Royal Burrendong posted a very competitive 3-153 on the back of an unbeaten 50 from new recruit R Oswald.

He and Shaun Burgess (23no) put together a good final partnership to take them above 150 after openers Mark and Todd Burgess had hit 16 and 14 respectively.

Brett Weick carried on from them with 40, and also shared a handy partnership with Oswald.

There wasn’t a lot of joy for the Wanderers bowlers, with Tom Batho, J Willis and Dave McVicar the only three to strike.

McVicar and Phil Sevil then set the platform as Wanderers, who in their previous two games had managed only 60 and 85, reached 7-164 in reply.

McVicar posted the second half-century for the day with 58 while Sevil made 44.

They lost their way briefly after that, with the next five batsmen failing to make double figures, but Hamish Graham steered them home with an unbeaten 30.

Mark Burgess was the  best with the ball for Royals, finishing with 3-15.
