Cobar started their Brewery Shield cricket campaign with a 50-run win over Wellington at Ward Oval on Sunday.
Cobar won the toss and elected to bat but they found the early going difficult on the damp sticky pitch.
They were 2/7 after losing both openers and found themselves in deeper trouble when captain Jake Harbison (14) fell with the score on 24.
Jay Egan joined Jade Buckman at the crease and pair shared in a 49-run partnership to take the score along to 73 before Egan was dismissed for 44 runs off just 32 balls.
Cobar continued to lose regular wickets and were bowled out for 152 runs in the 42nd over. Buckman finished as the top scorer with 62 runs.
In reply, Wellington were bowled out for 102.
After Tristan Everett, Justin Kelly and Jake Harrison removed the top three batsman, Nicola Harbison spun a web taking 4/22 and Jay Egan capped off a Player of Match performance taking 3/10 to roll through the Wellington batting line-up within 35 overs.
