Claremont-Nedlands faced a difficult task when they slumped to 4-96 with the wicket of top scorer Nicholas Hobson (51).

A middle-order rally, led by Tim David (47), gave the team a glimmer of hope but Joondalup remained in control.

Veteran paceman Josh Anderson took 3-41.

The victory gives the Centurions a shot at winning two titles in 2015.

That could have been three had Joondalup not lost to Claremont-Nedlands in the State T20 semi-finals earlier this year.

They are favoured to claim the coveted two-day flag, finishing the season well clear on top of the table.
