Onerahi-Central stamped their mark on the premier grade club cricket's two-day championship, snatching their second outright win of the competition.
Currently heading the table, Onerahi extended their lead, with a convincing round three win over a struggling Kamo side.
After bowling Kamo out last week for 95, Onerahi went on to reach a total of 287 for four on Saturday at Kensington Park, with the wickets being shared among Kamo's bowling line-up.
Needing to do plenty of groundwork, Kamo returned to the crease to make a more respectable 262 all out in 84 overs.
No2 batsman Nic Breslin did most of the hard work for Onerahi when they batted for the second time, smashing a half century.
Logan Miller snatched the only wicket of the second innings when he dismissed opening batsman Craig Russell.
Along with Aaron Wilson's nine runs, Onerahi made 74/1 in 12 overs, winning the match outright and on the first innings.
At Maungakaramea Domain, WBHS went down to the hosts after a promising start last weekend.
With Jordan Antunovich's ton, the schoolboys made a formidable target of 256, while restricting Maungakaramea to a first innings total of 187 in 62 overs.
The second innings was another story, however, when WBHS were hung out to dry by Maungakaramea's on-form bowlers including Jason Morgan, who took 6/43 in 13 overs to help dismiss the visitors for 107.
Maungakaramea finished the day on 179/6, with Dean Child topscoring for his side, hitting 45, helping the team to grab their first outright win in this competition.
Kaipara Flats also came close to an outright win over City at Cobham Oval after making a sound 268 last week, and backing up the batting effort with an impressive bowling attack, which saw City's top batting order ruled out of the first day's play.
City resumed batting on 44/4 but did not last long at the crease - Tauseef Satti took 3/10, while Mark Dellow also claimed a hat-trick, taking 3/44 and the hosts were all out for 98.
Skipper Ben Thompson invited City to follow on and they went on to make 180/8, with Satti grabbing another hat-trick with the ball, seeing Kaipara to a winning draw.
