Central controlled the game from the start, converting their inside 50s into scoring shots consistently throughout the four quarters. However, they could have had a larger margin if some shots had found the mark.

NORTH V SOUTH
North continued their unbeaten streak at the top of the ladder with a convincing 18-point win over South at Jubilee Oval. The margin was less than 10 points at the first change, as South put up a close contest in the opening term.
