Batting first, Cooma compiled a well-made 187 off their 45 overs, with Glenn Hart (47) top-scoring for the visitors, Cooper Fawcett posting 26 in support.
Errol Burns had best luck with the ball for Moama, claiming figures of 4-46, while Rishabh Kothari and Marcus Maher claimed two each.
Missing last week’s near-hero and captain Jack Russell, Moama went about chasing down the 187 set by a revitalised Cooma.
Brad Jones (43), Billy Gallagher (32) and Will Devlin (25) led the run-scoring, but Cooma bowlers Brad Power (3-40) and Ethan Palma-Ludeman (2-11 off seven overs) kept the lid on the Mowers.
Burns had the final say with bat in hand at the end with 19 not out, along with James Head, who pulled them over the line in an intense final stanza.
MAN OF THE MATCH
Glenn Hart propelled the Two Blues to a solid total with his 47 off 44 deliveries. Errol Burns is an honourable mention for his 4-46 and 19 not out to help his side across the line.
