In all games played this year the Rocks have taken all ten wickets and the weekend proved no different against Frederickton Fleas.
SWR won the toss and elected to bat first with the usual combination of Mick Chalker and Jye Woodger opening.
In another excellent showing on the top of the order, Woodger was top scorer for his side with a well made 63.
Ryan Dare (31) provided great support in the middle order whilst Liam Hackenberg and Mitchell Smith added an important 20 each to see the Rocks finish all out for 194 off 33.4 overs.
Grant McMillan put in an attacking bowling performance to finish with figures of 4/24 off 5 overs.
The Fleas weren't off to the greatest start to be 2/8 early on and the pain continued for the batting side as the Rocks ripped through.
Jamie Cooper, one of the best batsman of the first grade competition this season, scored well over half of his sides total with 44 to finish the only player scoring double figures.
Cooper fell just shy of carrying his bat to be the last wicket to fall as Frederickton were bowled out for 55 off 12.3 overs.
The Rocks' effort was a team performance with wickets shared around - Patrick Cotter finished with the best figures of 3/14 off 4 overs.
