Then, Morongla lost nine wickets for 45 runs.
Canowindra off-spinner Josh Carmody sparked the collapse by removing Morongla captain, Crook (73), before Crook’s counterpart Jacob Devlin had McNaught (78) trapped in front one run later.
Young quick Joe Coady destroyed the middle order finishing with figures of 4-27 (6), Devlin (2-36) and Brendan Traves (2-14) scored two wickets each.
In reply, a 54-run fourth wicket partnership between Traves (78 n.o) and Matt Harrison (22) stung Morongla’s hopes as the visitors moved from 4-77 to 5-131 within seven overs.
Shaun Craven added a valuable 18 runs, but Traves anchored the innings and guided Canowindra to the bonus point victory.
Sam McNaught bowled tirelessly and was rewarded with three wickets.
