Stradbroke took another step towards retaining the plate with a relatively trouble-free win at Rosary.
On a pitch softened by overnight rain batting was difficult, but re-united as an opening pair, Alan Barker (30) and David Allum (39) negotiated the minefield by different routes, adding 68.
The home side rallied, until James Grigg (32) attacked from ball one, a trend followed by Stuart Taylor after a slow start, until he was last out for 47.
