At Glenavy the home team batted first being bowled all out in 18 overs, with only Kurt Thomas 36 making any score of note. Hunter Wardle 3-6 was the best of the Oamaru bowlers while Lachlan Brookes 2-12, Reece Curle 2-18 and Asanka Gamlathge 2-29 took two wickets each.
Oamaru managed to chase down the required total with the loss of five wickets in 16 overs. Hawke Cup captain Jeremy Smith top-scored for the visitors with 22. For Glenavy, Ross McCulloch took 2-25.
In a must-win game for Albion, Union batted first with Kane Mclauchlan 48 and Jake Greenslade 22 getting their side off to a good start. Captain Blake James 38 not out then came in at four in the order and guided his team to 153 for the loss of four wickets in 20 overs. For Albion Jacob Davies took 3-26.
Albion started its chase poorly being 4-14 in the first three overs and then 5-19 after five. Campbell Fowler and Aneesh Bose, then combined to try and bring their side back into the match. The pair moved the total to 60 before the loss of Bose for 23. Fowler continued to bat well but with no one staying with him, it became a lone hand attempt. When his wicket was taken, he had complied 68 runs, and the tail folded once he was dismissed. Albion's final total was 124 all out in the 19th over, 29 runs short of Union's total. Blake Martin took 4-11 and Blake James 4-12.
With one round left, Union and Oamaru have an unassailable lead in the points table and will meet in a fortnight in the Dick Hunt Holiday Competition final.
