In the run chase, Ian Ranger hit the ball around the park with two fours and three sixes on his way to 47 not out.
Jake Davies also found the boundary on multiple occasions with five fours and a six as their side chased the runs down with just under three overs to spare.
After the Spring Games was called off last October due to COVID, the association have opted to host their part of the event.
An over 50s carnival will be run from Sunday to Tuesday with 12 teams from across the state taking part. There will be a City versus Country game on Sunday at the Sportsground.
