In Division 2 Geelong West Giants won a nail-biter by one point, 3.5 (23) to 3.4 (22), after scores were level at half-time and three-quarter time.
Accurate kicking saw Modewarre victorious over North Geelong in Division 3, despite being kept scoreless in the second and fourth quarters.
Modewarre won by 22 points, 6.0 (36) to 1.8 (14) after kicking four goals in the first quarter and two in the third.
In the Under-16 competition Saint Dragons completely dominated play, keeping Torquay Boyse scoreless for the first three quarters, with the Tigers only managing one point in the final term to the Dragons’ 8.4 (52).
