Tommy Clout compiled 26 at the tail of the innings, allowing Tauranga to post 216 despite Josh Dwight (5/24) and Western Bay skipper Peter Drysdale (3/27) proving tough to get away.
Peter Drysdale and Tim Clarke then set about taking control of the contest, reaching 160 without loss before Clarke was dismissed for 67. A mini collapse, in which four wickets fell for one run, was the consequence, but Stephen Crossan (18no) and Drysdale (92no) did enough to get their side home by five wickets.
Rotorua won the toss and batted first against Eastern Bay of Plenty, posting 179 all out. Jason Trembath top scored with 49, while Johnny Barrow finished with 45 runs.
From there Andrew Gibbs took over. The former Bay player, who has looked sharp early in the season, took 7/30 to rip the Eastern Bay out for 45.
