The Lions lost in the final over of their clash with Park, who held their nerve to secure a five-run win against the reigning premiers.

The Bulls also had a day to forget, as they were skittled for 67 after being set 115 to win by Peaks.

The big winners from the results were Railways who had the bye on Saturday but have a game in hand and sit just two points adrift of top spot.

Peaks slim finals hopes remain alive after their crushing 47-run bonus point victory on a tricky deck at Turf East.

In Seb Stanton’s 100th game Peaks won the toss and batted first but quickly slumped to 6-34 as their top order crumbled.

Paul Donaldson and Ben Southern were out for ducks, Stanton managed one and skipper Regan Poett fell for nine.

Ryan Kinnear tried to dig in making 13 from 49 ****** and Tom Leaver was also patient in his nine off 52.

However Peaks were able to pass 100 thanks to a lower order cameo from Casey Ganzer.

Ganzer smacked five sixes in his 48 from just 30 deliveries as Peaks reached 114 all out.

Jack Pope (3-6) helped clean up the tail while Bulls teammates Lucas Baker (2-33) and Ryan Gaerth (2-9) also took multiple wickets.

Bulls recruit Mitch Jackson opened the bowling, returning four maidens in his 1-20.

Cameron Walsh delivered two crucial early blows with the ball, removing Alex Fergie (5) and Pope (5) before the Bulls middle order folded.

Walsh’s impact on the result was enormous as he then took the scalps of Gaerth (2) and Bulls skipper Jeremy Wood (0) to have them in all sorts of trouble at 4-21.

Nathan Crosby (15) and Jarrad Gardner (10) were the only pair to reach double figures as the Bulls were bowled out inside 32 overs.

Youngster Oliver Douglas snared 3-11 from a terrific seven-over spell and Josh Wallis chipped in with 2-6 while Paul Donaldson got the big wicket of Jackson.

Park notched their second one-day win of the season and first triumph in the 50-over format since November when they rattled a fragile Lions batting line-up at Turf North.

The Lions were set 161 to win but once again their was little support for captain Mitch Green.

Green looked the most comfortable of the Lions batters but fell two runs shy of a half century and his side added only 25 more after his dismissal.

Tyler Crommelin was brought into the team and made 21 before he was clean bowled but experienced players Lincoln Joy (9), Matt France (6) and Ryley Valli (12) all fell cheaply.

Matt Thompson (8no) and Hayden Davies (8) added 16 runs for the final wicket, taking the game to the final over but Hayden Davies was run out with three ****** remaining to hand Park a deserved win.

Leroy van den Dool bowled impressively to snare 3-15 and Jesse Spaanderman (1-9 from five overs) was hard to get away while Freddie Sharp and O’Shea Durack took the big wickets of Joy and Valli respectively.

Buddy Robinson showed great poised at No.4 earlier on, hitting four boundaries but valuing his wicket in a 74-ball innings for 43 runs.

Contributions from van den Dool (37), Byron Spaanderman (21), Durack (16) and Dash Germinario (16) helped Park finish 9-160.

Quicks Hayden Davies (2-16) and Matt Thompson (2-28) were the pick of the bowlers for the Lions who have lost three of their last four one-day games.
