Eurobodalla batted first on a fine-looking pitch, but were quickly reeling at 4/15.
ACT bowled line and length and had Eurobodalla all out for 35 after more than 30 overs in the fierce sun.
In reply, ACT shared the run-scoring load and were bowled all out for 119.
Eurobodalla’s Farley Prior finished with figures of 4/11 from seven overs and the ACT’s Steve Bowden top-scored with 26 runs.
Eurobodalla captain Tony Henly praised pitch curator Michael Taylor and admired the finely-honed skills of the ACT’s players.
“They’re professional, age doesn’t matter,” Henly said.
ACT’s Paul Cullen was pleased with the donation to Tuross Marine Rescue.
He looked forward to the next game in Canberra in February.
“Tony Henly would appreciate players to contact him,” Cullen said.
