Brett Hutley (4/26), Lachlan Munday (3/18), Brad Dyet (2/43) and a tight (1/17) off seven overs from Kai Dunbarr-Rudd spear headed Rovers' bowling attack which put them in a great position for victory.
Grant Schubert (30), Jesse Meehan (30) and Dylan Mann (16) were the only players to offer resistance with the bat for South West Rocks as their other batsmen were dismissed before reaching double figures.
Rovers' batsmen wasted little time in surpassing the total as they celebrated the victory in the 28th over.
Openers Jack Wakely (37) and Brett Hutley (13) combined to provide Rovers with a strong start to the run chase while Jarrod Prosper (24) and Lachlan Munday (unbeaten 12) chimed in to seal the victory.
The win cements Rovers' spot in second position on the ladder and keeps them in touch with Nulla, who currently lead the competition, and secured a victory over Stuarts Point/Eungai, who are in last position, on Saturday.
It's set to be an exciting finish to the competition as Rovers and Nulla will do battle for the minor premiership in the final round of the regular season.
