Making its first foray into the competition since returning, Moama hit the ground running with a huge win over the Redbacks at Kyabram Recreation Reserve.
Ky won the toss and sent the visitor in to bat, hoping to rattle the Moama batters in their inaugural innings.
Things started promisingly for the Redbacks as Eliza Linehan claimed the wicket of Jada Bover in the third over, Moama starting at 1-5.
The introduction of Delany Laffy to the crease, joining remaining opener Olivia Davy, brought composure to the Moama innings, and the pair batted out a lengthy stand for the second wicket.
Both batters would end up reaching the 30-ball limit and retire unbeaten, Davy on 16 and Laffy on 27.
After Davy left the middle, the Redbacks enjoyed a little joy, Lauren Renden ending Jordan Dalziel’s stint after just two balls.
Isla Laffy joined Delaney briefly before working with Mia Arthurson to push the total past 100, Isla retiring in the last over as Moama posted 2-115 from its 20 overs.
Eliza Linehan (1-8) was economical after making the early breakthrough, while mirror image 27s from Delany and Isla Laffy were the standout batting marks.
Kyabram’s run chase started disastrously, with two wickets falling in the opening over, and things didn't improve much as time went on.
After starring with the bat, Isla Lffy sent Melissa Parsons and Emma Roberts packing in the first over, before returning with a hat trick to open her second, making it four for the over with another wicket three balls later.
The Redbacks were reeling at 7-2, with no batter yet to face more than three deliveries.
Becky Bruce provided some resistance for Kyabram, facing up to 25 deliveries for a hard-fought three, but Kyabram’s innings was beyond repair, the side all out for just 10.
Laffy’s 6-0 in two overs is a tough statistic to comprehend, while Sadie Laffy (2-3), Mia Arthurson (1-3) and Olivia Davy (1-1) were the other wicket-takers.
In other results, Cooma defeated BLU by four wickets. Echuca defeated Nathalia by eight wickets, Shepparton took down Katamatite by 70 runs, and Mooroopna had a nine-wicket win over Nagambie.
Next Sunday, Kyabram will travel to Victoria Park and take on defending champion Echuca.
