Dillon Penhall and Mick Foster were able to get the Carpheads to 18 after being sent into bat before Michael Keech (1/7) removed Penhall while James Sullivan (4) fell 10 runs later to the bowling of Matt Del Guzzo.
Foster and Lawrence were able to push their side forward after 32-run partnership before Del Guzzo struck again to remove Lawrence (15).
It would be Foster (60*) who lead the way for the Carpheads as the remaining batsmen for the Narrandera side failed to really make an impression on the scoreboard as Haydn Emerson (7) and Cooper Irons (7) to see the Carpheads finish their 40 overs on 5/114.
The Colts made a tough start as they lost Del Guzzo (4) to the bowling of Brodie Perram (1/16) while Todd Pattison (12) fell in the eighth over to the bowling Jack Williamson (1/16) to see the Colts sitting on 2/24.
Jarryd Day and Matt Curry got their side back on track, and even after Day (17) was dismissed by Foster (1/24), Curry continued to lead the way, but trouble struck when Lawrence came into the attack.
With the Colts needing 29 runs for victory with 19.4 overs remaining, Curry (38) fell to the bowling of Lawrence (4/12), and it was the beginning of the end for the Colts as they lost 7/8 over the course of the next nine overs to be bowled out for 93.
Meanwhile, in Yanco, the Stags took on the Ferrets as the Yanco side looked to maintain their strong season.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, Mathew Axtill and Rhett MacGregor got their side off to a flying start with a 67-run opening stand before Grant Forrest (2/16) struck to remove MacGregor (36).
The top order laid the foundation with Richard Smith (10), Bryce Rogers (14) and Axtill (37) seeing their side reach 114 before trouble struck.
Mark Doyle turned into the destroyer for the Stags as he picked up five wickets in three overs as the Ferrets fell from 3/114 to all out for 123 in the space of six overs.
While Nathan Lanham (2) fell to the bowling of Rhys Wilesmith (2/25) and MacGregor (1/12) removed Josh Lanham (13) to see the Stags sitting on 2/26, Matt Dedini and Jock Yelland got their side back on track.
The third wicket pairing was able to put on 75 before Sam Alampi (2/18), Ben Elwin (2/10) and Wilesmith took five quick wickets to see Yanco needing 15 runs with 9.3 overs remaining.
Dedini (59*) and Doyle (8*) were able to steady the ship and get their side to a three-wicket win with 7.1 overs remaining.
