In Division 2 The Butcher's Block and Magpie Music faced off with the chance to take on Chemworld in next Friday's grand final. Ashleigh Sant started the night on the right foot for the Magpie Music team with a strong 3 - 1 win over a much improved Ethan Ryan. Next on court Jess Simpson put The Butcher's Block back in front with a resounding 3 - 0 effort over Rachel Pearce. Scores were now 4 - 3 in favour of The Butcher's Block, but unfortunately for their team, their captain Harry Peterson was unable to make it, this left Gabriella Tarlinton as a sub, the responsibility of trying to take the match from an in-form Bailey Smith. While Gabriella managed to take 1 game, Bailey sealed the victory in 4. Magpie Music 6 games defeated The Bucher's Block 5.
In Division 1 another tight tussle was the contest between Top Video and Allsigns,Bega, with 3 of the contests going to 5 games, and in what would be the decider Tynan Taylor defeating Zac Harlow in 4.
