The over-60s took on Coffs Harbour at No.1 Oval on Friday night and chased down the coastal sides' 9-120 for a one wicket win.
Ben van Aanholt (31no) and Bede Maher (31no) guided them to victory, Maher returning to finish the job off with van Aanholt after they lost two quick wickets to find themselves 9-114.
Bob Haling also chimed in with 18 and Ron Farrell a valuable 12 at the end.
Farrell was earlier one of five wicket-takers for the home side, Chris Crowell leading the charge with 3-8.
The over-67s then took on the Mid North Coast Muddies in Quirindi on Saturday, and also chased for a seven wicket win.
John Lambert and Peter Boyd starred with the ball with three wickets apiece as they bowled the Muddies out for 163.
The top order then fired with Col Barton (20), Ron Radford (30) and Bob Haling (32) all retiring. Batting at four Boyd capped off a good allround performance with 25ret while Ian Kitching remained unbeaten on 25 as they passed the runs in 31 overs.
There was to be a final on Sunday but that was washed out.
