At 5/118 the home side couldn't quite get over the line with Munday dismissed on the final delivery to deliver both sides a tied result.
After a short break Rovers then took on Port City Magpies with the home side batting first.
Captain Jackson Korn top scored with 34 as the team finished their 20 overs at 9/126.
Rovers then put in a clinical performance with the ball as Port never looked like reaching the target.
The Magpies finished 9/74 after their 20 overs with Munday the pick of the bowlers, his figures reading at 3/15 from four overs with Jarrod Prosper, 2/13 off four, the next best.
Rovers will now travel to Laurieton Oval this weekend to take on Wingham for the last of the twenty/20's before the one-day format kicks off on October 31.
