Facing Easts for round nine on a soggy Ted Mulligan Oval, Guyra's bowlers set to work to tear through the reigning premiers' batsmen for a meagre 101.
Mitch Woods claimed the two opening batsmen Will Green and Dean Waters for 19 apiece.
Their total was the top score for Easts as the remaining batsmen fell cheaply.
Woods then claimed Sam Hutton for nine, followed by BJ Cameron trapping Ian Ranger leg-before-wicket for four.
Woods brought up his four-fa when he dismissed Clarrie Moran for nine.
Jake Ellis delivered on his return to first grade by dismissed Easts' skipper Sam Uphill for 14.
Brandon Landsborough then cleaned up Luke Uphill's stumps for nine before Ellis bent Ben Heffernan's leg stump back to send him packing as well.
Landsborough also claimed Justin Hickey for two and then the final wicket of Mitch Foster for four.
With the bat, Guyra's Shane Wolfenden could consider himself unlucky with Easts' Ranger taking a hard catch off Justin Hickey's bowling for the opening wicket.
But with Wolfenden dismissed, the in-form Ben Jackson stepped up to the crease and got on the board with a four and his next shot a six.
Making the move from second grade, Grant Ryan survived the opening 10 overs before being caught on six off Foster's bowling.
Jackson's 64-run stand came to an end when he was caught off Moran's bowling as Guyra were closing in.
BJ Cameron was the final wicket to fall off Sam Uphill's bowling but Demielle Landsborough made his way out to the middle and finished off the match in-style by smacking back-to-back fours to seal the victory.
"Best performance of the year, bowled well, protected our wicket, like I said, and it is a good going into Christmas," Guyra skipper Charlie White said.
"Benny [Jackson] is continuing his form and it is good.
"He has got confidence so hopefully he can carry it on to next year.
"Mitchell Woods got the top four and we kept that intensity up, even after he was done.
"Ryano [Grant Ryan], got through the new ball in the first 10 overs and as an opener, that is probably what you want."
The other match saw Hillgrove take the points over Ex-Services.
In his second first grade match, Servies' John McKay finished with 159 not out as his side made 3-328.
Hillgrove managed to chase down the required runs with three overs to spare.
