The Blues made light work of the top of the table clash and were successfully able to defend their total of 2-287 (dec) by dismissing Wagga City for 106.

Wagga City went in for a second innings and quickly ended any sniff of an outright result by working their way to 0-83 from 19 overs.

"It was a pretty complete game," Robinson said.

"We batted really well last week and then got the wicket late in the day.

"Then we came out and bowled really well this week.

"We're fully aware things can change around fairly quickly in cricket and it showed from the semi-final to grand final last year so we're not getting ahead of ourselves.

Jon Nicoll and Blake Walker (21) then steadied the ship before the Cats teenager was dismissed by a brilliant delivery from Lachie Skelly.
