Coro won the toss and elected to bat with Brett Crooks and John Witherspoon looking to get the Cougars off to a good start with an opening stand of 70 before Witherspoon (27) fell to the bowling of Cameron Harrison.
Harrison (2/29) picked up Crooks soon after with Peter Taprell following three balls later when he was bowled by Lyle Campbell.
Justin Moat (12) and Andrew McIntyre (20) were the only other Cougars batsmen to break double digits with Rodney Bordin (3/16) and Campbell (2/25) bowling well to restrict Coro to 9/142 off their 40 overs.
Exies made an excellent start with Dan Brady and Jay Mitchell putting on 71 runs for the opening stand before Dion Pascoe (3/33) struck to remove Brady (50) and Scott Campbell (2) while John Witherspoon picked up the wicket of Mitchell (19).
Lyle Campbell (20), Jonathon Streat (27) and Adam Waide (10*) were able to guide their side to a four-wicket win with 9.3 overs to spare.
Diggers were able to pick up their second win of the season after defeating Hanwood. Mark Favell (32) ensure his side made a positive start while Brett Owen (62) was the rock of their innings as these two were the only two batsmen to get into double digits.
The bowling of Luke Catanzariti (5/25) and Neil Geltch (3/25) helped to hold Diggers to 136 off 32.3 overs.
Geltch (26) backed up his performance with the ball with a solid contribution with the bat however the bowling of Damien Browning (2/21), Favell (2/15) and Matthew Butcher (2/25) made it tough for the Hanwood batsmen.
Catanzariti (14), Bradyn Challis (14) and Kym Wheeler (12*) were the only other Hanwood batsmen to score over 10 runs as they were bowled out for 117 to give Diggers a 19-run win.
Leagues have kept pace with the top of the table Exies after picking up a win after their trip to Coleambally.
The Panthers top three laid the platform with Teao Woetai (19), Teei Piawi (42) and Kierren Williams (18) getting their side to 89 before wickets started to fall at regular intervals with Shaun Iddles (4/8) doing the damage with the ball.
Daniel Bozic (14) was the only other Panther to break double digits outside the top three as they were bowled out for 123 in 32.2 overs.
Williams (2/32) struck early to remove Neil Burke before Coleambally started to mount a fightback with Jack Weymouth-Smith (17), Luke Roberts (24) and Sam Breed (24) getting their side into a promising position.
The bowling of Bozic (3/23) and Woetai (3/14) stopped the progress to see the Nomads bowled out for 117 to hand Leagues a six-run win.
