At Zealand Oval, the visitors won the toss and sent the Magpies to the crease.
Both of the hosts' openers Michael McCarron (27) and Mathew Griffith (10) reached double figures, to lay a strong platform.
But only Joshua Wakley (20) made the most of his time in the middle, with Ted Street (nine), Mike Hoard (six not out), Richard Katon (five), Logan Cosgrove (two not out) and James Shakeshaft (two) all struggling with the willow - as Berry finished their 20 overs at the crease at 6/94.

Joshua Fernie (3/9) was the picked of Nowra's bowlers, as Blake Hill (2/23) and Blake Horton (1/4) also claimed scalps.
In reply, Nowra's target was reduced to just 70 from 15 overs, due to the ongoing wet conditions.
Behind 21 from skipper Horton and 18 from Fernie, the visitors reached the target (3/70) in the 11th over.

Mitchell Smith (14 not out), Paul Taylor (seven), Aaron Bailey (one not out) also batted for Nowra in the chase, as Shakeshaft (2/14) and Street (1/4) took Berry's wickets.
This final was the only decider to see any action on Sunday, as all other grades were washed out at their respective grounds.
This meant Berry (first grade), Bay and Basin (second grade) and Sussex Inlet (third grade) were named one-day premiers over Ulladulla United, North Nowra-Cambewarra and Berry respectively.
