Union maintained their unbeaten season by successfully defending the Payne Tempero Challenge Cup against Albion at King George Park.
Batting first, they posted 239 in 46 overs, with captain Blake James top-scoring with 64 and Thomas Shields contributing 36.
Albion's in form Aneesh Bose was again outstanding taking 4-26, supported by Hayden Creedy (2-51), Amal Asok (2-38), and Jacob Davies (2-36).
Albion's chase began promisingly as Sabareesh Ramesh and Amal Asok combined to move the score to 97-2. However, after Asok's dismissal for 40 and Ramesh's departure for 26, Union's bowlers seized control. Albion collapsed to 167 all out in 40 overs, falling 73 runs short.
Brad Fleming starred with 6-34 - his tenth senior five-wicket haul - while Liam Mavor took 2-14 and Kane McLauchlan claimed 2-17.
At St Kevins, Valley's Growcott brothers shared a 56-run opening stand before Hunter (14) was run out, triggering a dramatic collapse. Valley lost their remaining nine wickets for just 37 runs, Toby Growcott made 39, as they limped to be all out for 93 in 20 overs.
Liam Direen (3-8), Hamish Fowler (2-5), and Jacob Fowler (2-35) did the damage.
Despite Tanie Stirling's 3-23 giving Valley hope, player-coach Liam Direen (32 not out) steered St Kevins to 97-4 in 20 overs for a six-wicket victory.
Waitaki Boys secured their first win of the season, defeating Glenavy by 50 runs at Milner Park.
Jordan Horell's 58 and Luke Harraway's 26 helped Waitaki reach 142 in 26 overs, the pair putting on 61 runs for the fifth-wicket.
Jordan Mulligan starred again with the ball, taking 6-50, supported by Sehu Nijam (2-14) and Harry Murphy (2-23).
Glenavy never got going as they lost regular wickets. Only Mulligan (39) showed resistance as they were dismissed for 92 in 19 overs. Harry Mavor took 5-35 and Billy Wilson claimed 3-23.
