Cooper Irons and Jack Rilen were able to get their side into a strong position of 2/78 before Irons (27) fell to Mathew Axtil.
Axtil (3/15) picked up another three quick wickets before Noah Maybon (4/33) claimed the remaining wickets to see Narrandera finish their 35 overs on 9/106.
The Ferrets made a strong start in reply with Jamie O'Connell, and Peter Lashbrook putting on 41 runs before Lashbrook (19) fell to Sam Williamson (1/22).

It mattered little with O'Connell (53*) posting a fifty to help his side pick the win and head into their grand final against Yanco with confidence.
