SPIN twins Shaun Mathews and Jarrod Forrester have helped Nichols Point retain their place at the top of the Sunraysia Cricket Association table through a 58-run win over reigning premiers Irymple.

Defending 247 at Henshilwood Reserve, the Pointers were able to get a few early wickets before a fightback from the Swallows, however that proved to be short-lived.
