Stuart Thompson (4-44), Shane Walliker (3-68) and Matt Neal (3-55) shared the wickets as Silvan defended its day one total of 232, bowling out the Tigers for 184.

Club secretary and first team player Luke Painter said his side was relieved to break its duck after a difficult season without several key players.

"We didn't want to go through [the season] without a win but I think this game had a much bigger impact on the sides fighting for finals places," he said.

The Tigers were in trouble falling to 6-60 before moving within range of the win after Simon Young made a late innings 63.

Painter said Silvan was quietly confident it could add more wins in its final few matches. "We always knew the next two games could be a chance. Hopefully, we can end the season with three in a row," he said.

Yarra Junction will rue its missed chance to knock off reigning premier Seville. Set 225, the Eagles looked on target for victory when the top order had them sitting on 3-130 with 40 overs remaining.

With Healesville wrapping up first innings points on the first day of its clash against Mt Evelyn, the Bloods started the day 6-139 and looked to build on their overnight lead, but couldn't take full advantage.
