Caufield Cannons V Lilydale Lizards
This game saw the introduction of the ultra-fan club for Caufield, "The Bombers". The Bombers were on fire all night tonight, chanting, cheering, booing and doing it all. Luis Mercada bolted torward goal in the final 2 minutes, looking to cut the lead to 2 points, but Jayse Wiggles sprints into him and smashes him into the ground for his 15th tackle of the game. The Lizards couldn't get The Bombers out of their heads and ultimately lost to Caufield.
Final Score: Cannons 104-96 Lizards
Weribee Wanderers V Brisbane Bucks Academy
This was Daicos Daicos' return to Weribee. The weribee fans were not happy with the way he exited the club. All you could hear was "Boo! Boo! Boo!". This did not deter Daicos. He kicked 7 goals tonight and after the match, gave the home fans the 🦅.
Final Score: Wanderers 91-102 Bucks

The Magic have been on a roll all season and this game will not change it. They cruise through Hallam and obliterate them like they were playing against 6-year-olds.
Final Score: Heroes 89-112 Magic
