Catterall took the momentum from his innings into Water Orton's reply, when he trapped the visitors' opener James Lawley LBW for a duck.
Matt Rawnsley (4-19) then took over the attack, removing Nick Lawley, Gary Crouch and Joe Sperring in quick succession, before wrapping up the game in the 46th over with the wicket of Lesroy Irish.
D'Oliveira also shone with the ball, finishing with figures of 3-5, while Neil Slade chipped in with 2-12.
