Magpies had several opportunities, with three short corners awarded consecutively, however no goals were scored.

Wombats were awarded a few more short corners, but Magpies’ defence was too strong again as Wombats headed into the second half 1-0 up.

Both teams started the second half with high intensity and it was Kilby once again scoring for Wombats to hand his side a much-needed 2-0 victory.
