With young quick Jacob Barber outstanding with the ball, the Hawks skittled their opponents for 62 and chased down the target with ease.
Barber finished with 4-15 with support coming from Aaron Morrison (3-11) and Scott Goodwin (3-17).
The performance was even more impressive considering Brent de Vries was missing through injury.
“The boys bowled pretty well,” coach Ben Curphey said.
“It was a bowler friendly day and we took our chances.
“I thought it was a good solid performance on a dreary day.”
Although the match was held up twice due to rain delays, Kiewa refused to hand back the momentum with Goodwin (20) leading the run chase.
Daniel Anthanitis found the conditions to his liking and grabbed 3-14.
Dederang opener Andrew Creamer led his side to victory over Bethanga at Bethanga.
Chasing a modest 115, Creamer put last weekend’s rare failure behind him to make 47 and guide the side to a six-wicket victory.
Baranduda had too much firepower for Howlong, winning by 57 runs.
Brett Allan, Tim Farrant and Aidan Ryan helped compile 6-193 and Rohan Pearce ensured the Spiders fell well short in the chase by grabbing 3-16.
Zach Leach and Adam Wallace also impressed.
