Grant Le Podevin's knock was the highlight of Chalambar's first innings of the season, but he fell one run short of a half-century.

Damian Garley contributed 20 to the total but the rest of Chalambar's line up struggled to score against Rhymney/Moyston 1.

Glen Cosgriff did the damage with the ball, taking four wickets.

Swifts/Great Western 2's Travis Nicholson top scored for the round, finishing his innings against St Andrews on 136, not out.
