Recruits Pete McKinsley and Andrew Glazzard created plenty of drive through the middle. The Bulls were again efficient at converting in front of goal and at halftime with a commanding 50 lead.
After the break, the Bulls’ trademark sharp possession game fell down somewhat and Melton converted one of its three short corners to take the score to 51.

Baw Baw played magnificently against Waverley and was unlucky to lose. Fielding a 3331 lineup and with no interchanges, Baw Baw played aggressively and repulsed numerous Waverley attacks.
Waverley staggered on many occasions and were lucky to score when a shot on goal hit the bar and barely bounced over the line. Numerous Baw Baw attacks on goal narrowly missed and left their opponents arguing. In only their second game in A grade, with several players in new positions, the Baw Baw players stood their ground against their older and more experienced opponents.
Scores: Waverley 1 d Baw Baw 0.
