It was the second meeting for the title and was played in a fast and furious fashion.
Falcons were the first to score from a Charley Wallace penalty corner, which was quickly followed by a Brodie Hamilton field goal.

Wodonga came out hard in the second half and put pressure on the Falcons' defence, but was unable to convert its chances.
However, Wodonga's Brent Innis landed a penalty corner in the fourth quarter, but Falcons were too strong, 3-1.
United defeated Magpies 5-0.
Magpies produced a great effort to keep the ladder leaders scoreless to the end of the third quarter.
