lead at the first break and limited the opposition on the scoreboard. Byron Hansford and Jackson de Jong kicked four goals each.

Division 4

Ocean Grove Pearson 2.9(21) def by St Albans Grinter 6.3(39)

After a slow start, home side Pearson gave itself every chance against St Albans Grinter. The boys created plenty of good chances in the second term but couldn’t quite finish it off, while the visitors capitalised when they had the ball. Pearson had multiple opportunities to get in front during the final term but St Albans’ ability to convert was the difference.
