Game 28 – Kickstart – Western Australia v South Australia
The warning signals had been coming from day One of the championships that Western Australia was peaking, but it was a South Australian side that felt the brunt of that. The Sandgropers started strongly and got away to a big half time lead. South Australia was playing well and deserved to be closer, but Western Australia, with their superior structures and discipline ran out 37 point winners.
Final Scores: Western Australia 7 4 46 d South Australia 1 3 9
Game 29 – Kickstart – New South Wales/ACT v Victoria/Tasmania
As the competition moves closer to the finals, some teams are upping their performances and that was exactly the case with the Victoria/Tasmania team. A tremendous defensive effort in the first half to restrict New South Wales to a single goal set up their own assault in the second half as Victoria/Tasmania ran the game out strongly, eventual 32 points to the good.
Final Scores: Victoria/Tasmania 5 8 38 d New South Wales/Tasmania 1 0 6
Game 30 – Kickstart – Queensland v Northern Territory
The Queensland team came out with a resolve to cover the losses through injury to key players, but they came up against a red hot Northern Territory team that booted six goals with the wind in the first half. The Queenslanders came out with heart in the second half, but the rout continued as the Territory boys kicked important goals to win by 49 points.
Final Scores: Northern Territory 9 3 57 d Queensland 1 2 8
Attention now turns to the semi-finals stage of the championships. The big guns are starting to fire and play a higher level brand of football, so it promises to be an exciting day at Cazalys Stadium in Cairns.
