10-14
In a tough clash on the border of the top eight the Kookaburras have solidified their position with a win over the ninth placed White pointers.

Wodonga Badgers vs Port Kembla Voodoo
4-30
Port Kembla put in a strong performance today to beat the uncoached badgers side. Botham was outstanding on the wing scoring two tries and doing plenty in defense to take the 3 POMs. The intimidating Voodoo defense easily held the Badgers at bay. And the Wodonga side must be desperate for a coach after two successive weeks without threatening to cross the line. Their ailing attack must be addressed if they are to avoid the wooden spoon.
