The Magpies are in a dominant position against Echuca South after a brilliant performance with the ball.
South managed just 111, bowled out in 46 overs, with only three players making it past double figures.
Chris Uys (34), Jake Toll (42) and Nicholas Phillips (17) provided the bulk of the Swans’ runs, while four batsmen were dismissed for ducks and four others made less than five runs.
No individual player dominated with the ball - Anthony McMahon and Leigh Haw both took two wickets - but the showing was more than enough to get the side into a winning position by the close of play.
Moama would lose just two of their wickets by stumps, finishing 2/107 off 32 overs, with Jordan McGregor and Jack Russell both set in the 20s when play resumes next week.
● Fraser Buchanan was the lone hold out in green as Tongala reasserted their premiership credentials against Echuca.
Opener Buchanan hit five boundaries en route to a strong half century, finishing 54 off 95 balls.
But his efforts would account for more than half of his teams runs, with the remaining ten combining for 45 runs as Echuca were dismissed for 99.
Dylan Cunningham produced his best bowling of the season for the Blues, raising the ball with 5/25.
Tongala would put on 70 runs before the close of play, Jayden Tucker the only man out for 32, setting the Blues up for a potential outright in a week's time.
● Rochester did as much as they could on day one to set up victory and keep their finals hopes alive, the only side to declare their innings.
With scores in the 30s and 40s for the top five batsmen, Rochy crusied to 7/241 in 60 overs before taking the ball.
Amila Gunathilaka was the one star for BLU with the ball, claiming four wickets.
Rochester's plan did not immediately go to plan, with BLU losing just one wicket in their 17 overs of batting.
Greg Pearse will resume play on 30 not out, hoping to get his side one more win for the year, and officially end Rochester's premiership defence.
● In the final game of the round, Cooma made a conservative 9/201 in their 80 overs against Kyabram Fire Brigade, as they look to secure their spot in the four.
