In Round 15, CYMS belted up 2-189 to easily account for Centrals, Cavaliers held Kinross to 70 at their home ground and chased down the runs required for victory inside 9 overs thanks to Grant Croft's quick fire 54. Orange City easily accounted for Spring Hill with captain Shaun Churchill making 75.

CYMS remain at the top of the table on 72 points, with Cavaliers back up to second on 61 points, closely followed by Orange City on 60. Centrals are in 4th on 59 points with Kinross a further 2 points back in 5th place. Wanderers and Spring Hill fill the bottom two positions and are now both well off the pace.
If the ODCA were to award a T20 winner for 2nd Grade, CYMS would have claimed that title, winning all of their T20 matches to pick up the maximum 18 points. Cavaliers, Orange City and Centrals all had three wins and with the bye picked up 14 points each, with Kinross 12, Wanderers 10 and Spring Hill 8.
