College Tassie Devils went down 6-1 to College Numbats. Harry and Jack Austin were the driving forces in an excellent display from the Numbats. Jock Barrie played strongly, as did Sybil Fleetwood and Darcy Fleetwood. Best for Tassie Devils were Phoebe Russell, Tom Templeton and Hamish Jeffery.

College Drop Bears defeated Monivae 3-1. Goalie Emily Ash performed a series of excellent saves. She was well supported by Jacob Butcher, Angus Dohle and Ciaran Nelson. Harry Mercer was a constant threat in the ‘D’ and scored a well-deserved second half goal.
