Going down by 9 wickets, the Bulls failed to crack three figures as they were bowled out for 97 runs from 30 overs.
Aberdeen chased it down in 16 overs at their home ground, only losing one wicket along the way.
Andrew Hill starred with 52 not out, and was deputised well by Caleb and Alex McNeill, who made 20 and 18 respectively.
McEwan Dawson was the solitary wicket taker for the Bulls, going for just 18 runs from his 4 overs.
Tim Carter top scored with the bat, contributing 20 runs to the total, but his efforts were largely offset by the fact 3 of his teammates failed to trouble the scorers, and another 4 didn’t hit double figures.
The home side’s Cameron Finch tore through the batting order with 4 for 21 from 6 overs, and Nathan Connor wasn’t far behind as he 3 wickets from 5 overs, incredibly conceding just 6 runs, four of which were wides.
The Scone side will be looking to bounce back next week as they take on ladder leaders Merriwa at McNab Oval.
In other fixtures, Merriwa thumped Belltrees by 9 wickets, Rouchel beat Bunnan by 5 wickets, Brook Blue copped a 99 run hiding from the Bushrangers and Murrurundi downed Brook Silver by 62 runs.
