The 50s had a nine wicket win over the Mid North Coast Mudskippers in their Doug Walters Cup clash in Tamworth while the 60s bounced back from a heavy loss to Mid North Coast on Friday night with a narrow win against Coffs at Macksville.
Chasing Coffs' 8-140 at Phillip Hughes Oval, the 60s ran a bye off the second last ball of their innings to get the runs nine down.

It was a bit of a chaotic finish. After, going off the electronic scoreboard, thinking they needed five off the final over, they thought they had hit the winning runs earlier in the over.
But after pulling out the stumps it came to light that the scoreboard was wrong so they had to put them back in and go back out there.
Greg Kellett (34no) and Peter Boyd (13no) finished off the job for them, Kellett joining Boyd at the crease with seven runs to get.
Boyd had earlier taken 2-6, Kellett 1-20 and Chriss Crowell 1-14.
At No.1 Oval, Phil Constable led the charge with 3-21 as the 50s bowled the Mudskippers out for just 113. Peter Mead, Andrew Stevenson and Ben Crowe also all chipped in with a wicket in what was a class allround effort in the field with three of the Mudskippers wickets run outs.
In reply Tamworth chased down the runs inside 30 overs with Chris Paterson hitting 45(ret) at the top of the order and Crowe unbeaten on 29 and Mead 17.
