Smith finished with 15 boundaries and a six before holing out in the deep off Hamish Cranstone.
Brendon Walker (23 from 15) hit two sixes and a four in a brief but exciting innings, then Harry Burroughs (22 from 33) looked to carry on to the end until a miscommunication led to his run-out, after which United’s innings ended with six overs remaining.
Central Districts Under 17 representative Aidan Muir (5-25) removed Collegiate’s dangerman and cleaned up their tail in single figures.
While United put down a couple of catches, they also held on to some screamers – Nick Burroughs, Smith and Meredith the noteworthy examples.
Under pressure at 44-2, Collegiate looked to Connor Rees (43 from 50) to play the crucial top-order innings, striking six boundaries, after United skipper Robbie Power (2-28) had introduced himself and Harry Burroughs (2-17) into the attack to secure the breakthroughs.
Collegiate hoped Mabin (21 off 34) and skipper Rory Nugent-O’Leary could build the next decisive partnership, but Smith made a great low catch off Power to get Mabin.
Nugent-O’Leary followed immediately off Harry Burroughs and then Muir worked through the lower order, with Collegiate losing their last five wickets for 40 runs.
