Hunter said praised both outfits for their efforts.
"We've got so much respect for Merrivale they're such a great team," he said.
"We were thrilled, A - just to be here and to play the way we did was really pleasing.
"Everyone did their little bit today.
"It was just a great game of cricket it really was, it could have gone either way."
The Factory mentor said Rehan had "plenty of potential".
"He really turned it on today when it counted," he said.
Hugh Hunter (22) top-scored with the bat for Nestles while Tiger Fletcher Henry batted superbly for a composed 29.
Stuart Thring was the best of the Merrivale bowlers, capturing 2-3.
Hunter gave special mention to Nestles as a whole after the win.

"Lots of parents help out and make our job easy."
