Tobias made 29 in a total of 142 all out, then took six for 16 as Civil were bowled out for 84.
Bridestowe continued their winning run with a 184 run victory away at Stoke-Gabriel.
Bridestowe batted first, and scored well from the start; 39 runs were on the board before Gary Sizmur was out lbw to Ansley.
Next came a mammoth 167 run partnership between Tom Fogerty and James Ewen.
Both left well outside off-stump, ran well, and climbed into anything under- or over-pitched.
When Ewen fell for 56 trying to up the run rate, a few wickets fell at the other end, with the new men also looking to find the boundary.
There were useful contributions from Phil Hatton (25) and Nazir Khan (36no) who, along with Fogerty (136), got the score up to an imposing 332-7 from 45 overs.
Stoke reached a respectable 112 for five in reply – Tolley (44) and Seb Ansley (29) making a share.
Tolley played some impressive strokes and, at one stage, it looked as though Stoke might be on track to make it a tense finish.
But when Lavis (3-51) removed Ansley (25) and Khan (2-24) bowled Tolley (44), the game was all but over.
Gary Sizmur finished with 4-42 as Stoke collapsed to 148 all out.

“We are rolling up the table – and haven’t finished yet,” said Lammonby.
Whitchurch made a respectable 246 for six with Kevin Jacobs top scoring on 98. He put on 181 for the first wicket with Ben Powell (77).
