The visitors were looking on target to post a good total at 4-130 but lost their last six wickets for just six runs.
Harry Lewington was at the centre of that snaring 3-14. He also combined with Noah Hooley to run out Angus Reardon and wrap up Moree’s innings.
Charlie Walsh also chimed in with 2-17, Blake Scicluna 1-8 and Sam Holmes 1-14.
Will Slack-Smith and Thomas Watts batted strongly for Moree and were their equal top-scorers with 35.
Slack-Smith followed up his efforts with the bat with 2-23 as the Blue chased the runs down in 38 overs for a three wicket win.
Chris Fox (27) and Lewington (26) laid the groundwork for the successful run chase before Logan Spinks (22no) and Walsh (22no) finished off the job off with an unbroken 48 run partnership.
The Gold 12s didn’t fare as well, beaten convincingly by Narrabri out at Narrabri.
The 14s and 16s however both won their fixtures, the 14s in commanding fashion.
After posting 180 with Zac Craig hitting 32, Ben Livingstone 20, Adam Williams 29, and Heramb Dayananda 20, they then routed Narrabri for just 65, Nick Mead (3-12) snaring a hat-trick.
The 16s meanwhile dismissed Narrabri for 95 in reply to their 145.
