Shepparton Swans and Euroa played out the most compelling clash at Princess Park, with three goals from Rory Duffy proving pivotal in a narrow 7.12 (54) to 7.7 (49) win for the home side.

There was good news for the locals at Deakin Reserve, with Shepparton coasting to a 57-point victory over Mansfield.

Rochester enjoyed multiple enormous wins on the road at Benalla and the junior boys delivered in kind, registering a 105-point thrashing of the Saints.

Echuca started its premiership defence in fine form at Victoria Park, accounting for Shepparton United by 42 points.

Seymour’s juniors made a gigantic statement about the club’s depth at Tatura Park, annihilating the Bulldogs to the tune of 143 points.

In a rare afternoon slot for the juniors, Mooroopna took the points home from Kyabram Recreation Reserve after knocking over the Bombers in a 20-point triumph.
