Birchgrove Pistoleers vs Hawthorne Hurricanes
16-14
A converted Ciraldo try leveled the scores in the 77th minute and it was anyones match. In the final minute some tough defense by the pistoleers saw the hurricanes lose 2 metres over the set and left them on the backfoot defensively. When a tired Mathew Scott was penalised for offside within goalkicking range, Byrne won the match with a textbook goal.
