Batting first at John Oxley Sportsground, League could only muster 37 runs with Aaron Olson the only batsman to reach double figures.
He scored almost half of his sides total, finishing unbeaten on 16.
Playing three batsmen short didn’t help the League cause and they were bundled out in the 20th over.
Lachie Fletcher lead the Swamp charge with 3-9, with opener Lee Harrison, Liam Brennan, Troy Yarnold and Thomas Hoy all chiming in with a wicket.
In reply Swamp lost opener Ben France third ball of the innings when Peter Mooney bowled him for a duck.
It was smooth sailing from then on though as opener Troy Yarnold (22) and Harrison (18) clobbered the necessary runs inside four overs.
At the Park, Uralla had Kentucky 3-42 in the 16th over, chasing 124, when the rain came.
Number three batsman Cameron Wood scored his second successive 80 to anchor the Uralla innings.
Wood was in an attacking frame of mind with over half of his runs coming via the boundary.
Grey Buckland 2-15, Dan Micallef 2-22 , Sam Abraham 1-19 and Daniel Boyd 1-30 got the breakthroughs for Kentucky.
Boyd, opening the innings, then top scored with 15 while his father Wayne, and Buckland made nine.
Wood backed up his efforts with the bat to join Jay Grills (2-25) among the wickets.
