Bowling Club had no trouble running down a youthful Grenfell White in the match played at Oliver Oval while Valleys put on a massive 199 in their match against Cowra's other B grade side, Morongla at Twigg Oval.
Valleys lead the B grade competition with six wins from seven matches played this season.
Sitting in second position are Grenfell Blue, who enjoyed a bye last weekend with five wins.
Bowling Club are in third position, on percentages, on the same number of competition points as Grenfell Blue, having also recorded five wins.
Batting first against Bowling Club on Saturday, Grenfell White were in early trouble losing the wicket of Ky O'Byrne before a run had been scored.
Things got even worse a short time later when Jaxon Greenaway was bowled by Aiden Roberts for just two making the score 2/4.
Garry Handcock and Bailey Edwards then set about setting the Bowling Club a respectable target with Edwards particularly damaging on any lose deliveries.
They took the score along to 50 before Handcock was dismissed for 27 off the bowling of Matt Gault.
J Knight then put on 33 in a 58 run partnership with Edwards before he was out.
Edwards remained not out when the Grenfell innings closed with the score at 4/141.

Wicket takers for Grenfell were Bailey Edwards 1/19, Jaxon Greenaway 1/13 and Tyler Byron 2/21.
200 run target
In a match dominated by the Valleys batting attack, Morongla were set 200 runs for victory at Cowra's Twigg Oval on Saturday.
Sam Long and Tom McNamara set the platform for the big target at the top of the Valley's batting order and had progressed the score to 48 before Long was dismissed.
If Morongla were looking for some relief they were sadly disappointed as much of the damage was to follow.
Angus McFarland then joined McNamara in the middle and the two went about smashing the Morongla bowling attack around the ground with McFarland in a particularly aggressive mood.
McNamara was eventually out for 44, stumped by Wilson.
This brought Tom Lamond, who was in a similar mood to the top order, to the crease.
Boundaries flowed freely off the bats of Lamond and McFarland before Lamond was out, bowled by Wilson for 33.
McFarland was eventually out with a half century in his sights, for 47.
Next best of the Valley's batsmen was Bevan Foxall who added 19 in the middle order.
Mitch Amos was a standout in the Morongla attack, taking 3-17 and bowling plenty of dot balls in his eight overs.
In a run chase, which always appeared too big a target, only Craig Oliver (27), Rohan Wilson (21), B Beale (13) and Mitch Amos (13) were able to reach double figures for Morongla who finished their innings all out for 105.
Issac Steel continues to lead the Valleys attack and picked up 3-26. Lewis McFarland produced a similarly good effort with 3-23 and Bevan Foxall 2-4 and Tom McNamara 2-9 rounded out the bowling.
