A team bowling effort saw the Crabs keep the visitors to 8/107 from 40 overs.
Captain Brayden Buchanan, Stuart Hill and recruit Ben Woolcock snared two wickets each with Daniel Jones conceded just 11 runs from eight overs.
Opener Kyle Buchanan (49) put the match beyond doubt in the run chase.
The Crabs recruits have made an immediate impact since heading to Killarney Recreation Reserve.
Woolcock, who played with Wesley-CBC before a year off last year, is loving the place.
"It's a great club, everyone is really friendly and welcoming," the 22-year-old said.
"We're playing some good cricket at the moment."
He said it was great to see the club doing well after a tough 2019/20 summer.
"It's great, everyone's happy and enjoying themselves, there's a good culture," he said.
Woolcock, an opening batsman, only managed one run on Saturday but his form with the bat has otherwise been impressive.
He couldn't be dismissed in the opening two rounds, registering 23 not out and 22 not out.
"I think it's been good, a bit scratchy at the beginning of my innings, mistiming the ball a bit but once I get my eye in; I start feeling more confident at the crease," he said.
The leg spinner contributed 2-19 with the ball on Saturday after snagging two wickets the weekend before.
"I've been bowling really well, the ball has been coming out really nicely, it's probably the best I've bowled in my career so far," he said.
In other results, Hawkesdale defeated Grassmere with Ben Julius smacking 136 off 106 balls.
Yambuk was able to defend 101 against Wangoom thanks to an outstanding effort from its four bowlers.
Tyson Umbers led the attack with 4-16.
