The visitors posted an imposing target of 4-215, which included classy all-rounder Kade Brown being forced to retire hurt on 33 after he dislocated his kneecap while batting.

But Lavington reeled in the target only four wickets down with three overs to spare as captain Sam Harris posted a season-high 90 not out, while Matt Tom continued his outstanding month with 68.

It was the second time the Panthers have chased down a 200-plus target after Belvoir struck 4-209 a fortnight ago.

"That's the best I've seen him bat for the whole year," Tom said of his skipper.

"He batted quite sensibly through most of the innings and when they got tired later on he hit the ball like we know 'Harry' can."

The grand finalists are now unbeaten since Christmas, clocking up six wins and a draw.

The pennant committee has dismissed the appeal from both Lavington and Belvoir, asking for the winning points from their clash on February 1.

The match was called off due to poor air quality with CAW declaring the results of other matches, which all went ahead, were not relevant to the appeal.

It means Wodonga can't lose the minor premiership, sitting two and a half wins above Lavington with only two rounds left.

Lavington's clash against Albury pitted two teams with a long winning streak and it lived up to expectations.

Albury's Zimbabwean import Innocent Kaia, who has already committed to the club again for next season, was dropped second ball of the match by Nathan Brown at second slip from his brother Ryan's bowling and then flat-batted an audacious boundary in the next over over mid-off, dancing down the wicket.

But when he tried something similar in the game's fifth over, the ball got "big" and he could only bunt it to mid-on for a quickfire 17 with three boundaries.

"It was massive, he came out and whacked a couple of fours and looked really aggressive," Tom said.

No.4 Dom Stockdale (43) and Brown combined in an 83-run stand for the third wicket before Ross Dixon (44no) and Caleb Martin (27) posted 50.

Louis Botes ran out Darcy I'Anson and Sam O'Connor, who was backing up too far, early, but a 146-run stand between Harris and Tom turned the match.
