Dalyellup Beach was bowled out for just 46 in Collie on Sunday as both LGM Industries Bunbury and Districts Cricket Association sides reversed their fortunes from the previous day.

Collie achieved the remarkable feat of winning with two bonus points despite being bowled out for 118, just a day after a big loss to Marist.

Collie's innings was looking good at 3-103 before three late wickets to Liam Renton, who finished with 4-17, helped the Settlers claim the last seven wickets for just 15 runs.

That would be as good as it got for Dalyellup, as 5-11 from Rodney Ford helped Collie skittle their opposition.

Mat Fink carried his bat with an unbeaten 24 with no other batsman scoring more than four runs as Collie moved back to top spot on the ladder.

At Hay Park, Ross Knoll hit 124 and Jono Whitney 59 as the home side beat Eaton by 41 runs.

The pair put on 130 for the third wicket as Hay Park reached 5-228 from their 50 overs before bowling Eaton out for 187.

Clint Hewson hit four sixes in his 61 for Eaton and Clayton Caltsounis scored 48 to give Eaton hope after they had slipped to 5-67. Three wickets to Knoll (3-28 from 9 overs) and Shaun Bulman (3-39 from 10) were invaluable for Hay Park.

In the final match, Colts claimed a three-wicket win over Leschenault at the Bunbury Recreation Ground.

Winning the toss and electing to bat, the Green Caps were off to a shaky start as opening batsman Matt Hammond departed for four.

At 4-47, Matt Buchanan (60) played a major hand in helping Leschenault reach 169 before they were dismissed in the 47th over.

A steady flow of wickets gave Leschenault a chance of claiming victory but the ever-reliable Murray Goodwin scored his second big total of the weekend, guiding Colts home by notching an unbeaten 68.
