The finals games for the Year 8 Premier grade pools 1 and 2 were closely contested encounters with lots of spectator support on what was a reasonably fine day.

Peachgrove Premier in their final against Berkley 8A led from start to finish but Berkley 8A did draw the second quarter and won the final quarter. Peachgrove Premier led by four goals at end of first quarter and at half time they still led by four goals.

Peachgrove Premier then had a very strong and comprehensive third quarter restricting Berkley 8A to just one goal and to lead by nine goals. The final quarter was won by Berkley 8A by two goals but it was too little too late.

The final score was 23 goals to 16.

In the other final St Peters Prep A also let from start to finish in their game against Saints United 8A but Saints United 8A did draw the third quarter.

St Peters Prep A only had a narrow one goal lead at the end of the first quarter but at half time had extended this to seven goals. The third quarter was a draw but the final quarter saw St Peters Prep A completely dominate restricting Saints United 8A to just one goal.
The final score was 25 goals to 15.
