Matt Norrie [14], Alex Andelkovic [11] and Will Norrie [10] were the only Bowral batsmen to reach double figures.

Moss Vale needed only four bowlers to finish off Bowral, with openers Scott McKie [3-26] and Troy Brown [2-12] leading the way.

They were well supported by Murray Burgoyne [3-13] and Jack Webb [2-6] who finished Bowral off.
