Western Park (175) def. Hallora (168)
The curse of the undefeated continued in division three on Saturday, as Western Park knocked off the previously unbeaten Hallora in a titanic struggle that saw the Warriors emerge victorious by just seven runs.

It's no doubt been uttered by the competing club's faithful on many an occasion prior, but the contest on the weekend was one of the highest quality lower-grade encounters you're ever likely to see.
Hallora had rarely faced a hefty run chase over the course of the summer, with their ability to steamroll opponents on display on many occasions.
However, the dogged determination shown by Western Park's lower order last weekend had them staring down the barrel of a challenging pursuit.
And, against the pace of Oscar Sheehan – let alone his unerring ability to home in on the stumps in the field – the Kangaroos were on the back foot in the early stages of Saturday's action.
Daniel Reiner (who had struck a blistering 57-ball 66* in the semi final against Catani) was removed for just 1, edging behind to Marc Fleming (who marked his return to division three with a handful of dismissals), Ben Sharpe fell victim to a direct hit run out and Ed Lemmon had his off-stump pegged to have the score 3/10.
Brett Watkins demonstrated his class with a series of sublime punches through the off-side and punishing deliveries on his pads, and his 43-run fouth wicket stand with Bradyen Hunter (who complied a sensational 37 that anchored the Halloran chase) well and truly put the pressure back on the Western Park bowlers.
Sheehan (who bowled almost unchanged over the course of the afternoon on his way to 6/103) fought back and caught the edge of Watkins' bat, but the Western Park faithful knew that there were still challenges to come.
Tom Williams – an accomplished all-rounder who has tasted success at the highest level for Hallora – frustrated the bowlers to no end, making 26 before top-edging an attempted pull of Dulip Liyanage (who was at his mesmerising best with 2/23 from 23.2 overs).
Hunter's stay was also curtailed by a leaping screamer from Fletcher Kennedy at cover, with the Warriors continuing to make inroads and Hallora sitting at 5/102.
Jonno Whelan strode out and in typical fashion launched a belligerent 17-ball 26 that once again swung momentum back Hallora's way – stepping out and blitzing Sheehan over the mid-wicket fence and scything a host of powerful drives square of the wicket and down the ground.
But he attempted one shot too many, and chipped a drive to Liyanage at mid-on.
Dilpreet Singh (a punchy 23 from 44) and Lochie Wilson (a resolute 6* off 46) did their best to rally and took the Kangaroos agonisingly close – in the process inducing near conniptions from those watching – but the Warriors wouldn't be denied, dismissing Hallora for 168 in the 62nd over.
