St Bedes/Mentone won by the smallest margin ‘away’ at Old Xaverians other home ground of Stradbroke Park. The Tigers matched Old Xavs throughout the contest but it was their response of four goals in time on of the third to wrest back control they had relinquished that was most telling.
At Camerbwell the margin was just two points as the away side – University Blacks – hung on to win over a charging Old Scotch.
As mentioned above Old Carey won their first game of the year comfortably accounting for Beaumaris by 44 points. The goals were shared in the Panther’s first four quarter display for the season.
