• Belltrees Bushrangers defeated Aberdeen
• Murrurundi defeated Rouchel
• Bunnan defeated Muswellbrook Blue
• Merriwa defeated Belmore Hotel Bulls
• Belltrees defeated Muswelbrook Silver

This weekend was the first this season where wet wickets were involved. It resulted in mainly low scores, but also some very close contests. Bunnan won by one run over Muswellbrook Blue, with a hat trick bowled by Josh Cooper almost tipping what had looked to be a cruisy win to Bunnan into a surprise win to the Blues. The final over involved a wide off the fourth ball – the winning run and a leg before wicket with the final wicket off the fifth ball.
