The match North of the river was at Brunswick St Oval and Old Melburnians eventually prevailed in a tight tussle with Fitzroy by seven points. After both sides managed only eight goals each to three quarter time the game opened up in the last with OM’s managing five goals to four that the Roys could muster.

St Kevin’s completely obliterated a disappointing AJAX in Albert Park, with SKOBs showing no mercy in their 94 point win. Phil Edgar booted six goals in a brilliant display whilst Jake Lew managed four for the Jackers.

Parkdale Vultures have produced the upset of the year to date as they beat Old Brighton by five goals at Gerry Green. The scores were tied at both quarter and half time before the Vultures edged to a two goal lead in the third. A six goal to three final quarter sealed a famous win for Parkdale who moved to sixth.

St Bedes/Mentone Tigers moved into second spot at the expense of Old Brighton and returned to the winners list in resounding fashion with an 88 point win over Mazenod. Michael Barnes was the star, booting a career best of eight goals, whilst Pat Tyquin bobbed up with five majors of his own.
