And didn't it make an impact.

Just one team - Allansford-Panmure - enjoyed a perfect weekend as upsets fell on both Saturday and Sunday.

The Gators stunned premiership contender Woodford on Saturday and backed it up with a stunning upset win over third-placed Dennington on Sunday.

The results all but revived the club's season.

Woodford skipper Nick Butters, whose side are second on percentage, said it learned lessons from Saturday's defeat to Allansford-Panmure as it cruised to a 10-wicket win over Nestles on Sunday.

"I thought our batting at the top of the order was a bit shaky on Saturday," he said.

"We sprayed the ball a bit too. It certainly picked up on Sunday.

"Our bowling was to one side of the wicket and we were really consistent."

Butters said youngster Ollie King had "really improved" and was pleased to see him clinch four middle-order wickets on Sunday.

"He's one who can get swayed a bit by some of the younger lads but he's someone we want to bowl consistently at training," Butters said.

"He's done well and it's nice to see him getting some rewards for the work he's doing."

West Warrnambool, who lost to Dennington on Saturday before beating Merrivale on Sunday, was pleased to get off the mark.

Panthers coach Alastair Templeton said his side had been playing well in patches without reward.

"We're trying to make sure we weren't jumping at shadows and trying to rebuild the whole house when there was a leak," he said.

"You want to fix it as you go and we don't want to change too much as that's what we've been working hard at.

"It's an even competition and with blokes even a little bit off you're going to lose some games.

"We've just wanted to get back to playing good cricket and making sure we're a hard side to play against."

Templeton said his side was gelling after introducing new players in the off-season.

"We're working out what we're doing and really nailing down roles because it can change your game style," he said.

Elsewhere, reigning premier Brierly-Christ Church and surprise packet Port Fairy were forced to abandon their Sunday clash at Avery's Paddock after water seeped under the covers overnight.

It meant the teams split the points, leaving the Bulls just outside the top four in fifth.

The association will move to Twenty20 fixtures on Thursday night.
