Despite posting its best total of the week, 220, the Riverina bowlers couldn't contain Western who passed the total seven wickets down with just 14 balls to spare.

An impressive knock of 96 from Western's Cooper Brien was the difference between the two sides.

Wagga's Jake Scott continued his sublime form with 81 from 97 balls, with support from Belvoir's Kaiden Withers (32 from 46).
