The Cougars took on Hanwood and were able to make a strong start after winning the toss.
While Riley Sillis (4) fell early to the bowling of Wyatt Carter (1/9) but Ryan Andrighetto and Jai Kenny were able to get their side moving towards a defendable total.
The second-wicket partnership was able to put on 35 runs before Andrighetto (18) was caught off the bowling of Lachlan Wynne (1/24).
Kenny (50 ret.) kept the scoreboard ticking over with Rajinderpal Brar before the Hanwood bowlers started to make inroads.
Jonah Serafin (2/4) and Brad Whitworth (1/11) were able to help restrict Coro to 6/106 off their 25 overs.
Whitworth (11) and Serafin (9) were able to get their side off to a decent start with the bat, but the bowling of Coro swung the momentum quickly.
Elemeniko Valele (2/6) and Roy Condon (2/3) were the main wicket-takers as the Hanwood side lost 6/7 before being bowled out for 54 and see the Cougars take a 52-run victory.
