Massive run totals were racked up in both fixtures.
Wednesday's game saw the Bonshaw Billygoats play the KLAS Bouncers.
The Billygoats won the toss and sent the Bouncers in to bat.
And the Bouncers hit the ground running.
Openers Matthew Savins and Shaun Merchant both retired with 53 and 52 runs each.
Josh Parker was the only wicket to fall as the Bouncers made 1-178.
The Billygoats didn't shy away from the challenge in their run chase.
Ed Hickson rocketed to 53 runs and retired.
James Moore was the first to depart on 10 runs.
Simon Piccini made 37 before he was dismissed and then Geoff Fearby was run out on 23.
It came down to the wire with the Billygoats needing 11 runs in the final over to take the win.
They fell short by three, finishing their 20 overs on 3-176.
The Thursday night game between the Teletubbies and Tenterfield Tavern was more clear cut than Wednesday's fixture.
The Teletubbies won the toss and opted to bat first.
They smashed their way to 5-203.
Openers Ethan Bambery and John Kelly got things rolling before Kelly was caught on 10.
They had a scare when Tyran Petrie exited as quickly as he came to the crease with a duck.
But Bambery's 50 retired, Will Sheather's 48 and Keiran Jones's 49, along with 15 wides and seven no balls, saw the Teletubbies post a whopping 5-203.
In response, Tavern started well but once wickets fell, they went quickly.
Opener Rodney Clifford was the first to go on five before Xavier Cusack was dismissed for two.
Matt Mason's 19 run-stand came to an end when he was bowled and then Daniel Townes was caught and bowled on 10.
Kurt Fowler top-scored on 23 but the damage was already done. Tavern couldn't chase down the Teletubbies' total and finished their 20 overs on 8-90.
