DROUIN fought hard, but went down to home side Moe 96/81 in the division-one game of the round on Saturday.
The win consolidated Moe’s position in the top four, while Drouin sits in fifth spot.

In division three Drouin got back into winning mode, demolishing Morwell 117/78, Trafalgar continued its good form beating Yallourn 100/90, Warragul beat Boolarra 93/82 and Morwell Club was far too good for Yinnar winning 101/74.
