Danny Revis continued his good form and chipped in with an impressive 68 while Ryan Morley batted well and contributed 58.
Toongabbie showed they are the real deal and used 48 overs to reach the target but never looked in trouble along the way.
Connor Hughes remained in terrific touch and was unlucky to miss out on a maiden TDCA century after being run out on 95.
Sam Ellis was also pivotal and made 43, as was Zac Russell who chipped in with 35.
The Rams hang onto second spot on the TDCA A grade ladder, four points clear of Gormandale.

Ex Students v Gormandale

The Tigers won the toss and batted and were completely outplayed in the one-day fixture.Chris Lehner (24) and Travis Switzer (22) were the top contributors as Gormandale were all out for 88.
The Sharks are now unbackable favourites to win another title. The inclusion of Rob Voss back into the A grade side after being coaxed out of retirement has proven to be key for the defending champions. Voss took a phenomenal 3/16 while Jimmy Pryde was equally outstanding with 3/12.
Ex Students needed 17 overs to meet the target and cruised to victory with eight wickets in hand. Jordy Gilmore finished on an unbeaten 44 and Jackson McMahon made 27.
