Another strong effort in front of goal in the second period saw the Blues dart to 29 goals at the half-time break, with Barooga struggling and now on the bad end of a ten goal deficit.

The pain continued for the Hawks, who managed just three goals in the third term, while the Blues continued to show why it won the 2023 grand final.

A 20-goal final quarter capped an unbelievable display of skill by the Blues, who left Barooga in the dust to claim a 31-goal victory at home.

The final score was Tongala 61 to Barooga 30.

Moama v Rumbalara

In a 2024 grand final rematch, Moama looked to avenge its narrow defeat against the clear-cut flag favourites early in the season.

However, Rumba demonstrated why it took home the premiership last season, dissecting the home side throughout its a round two contests.

The Magpies struggled from the jump, finding the net just eight times in the first period, while Rumba got to work down the other end, tallying 17 by quarter time.

Adding just three goals to the tally in the second period, Moama fell even further behind Rumba, who quickly assembled a 20-goal lead by half-time.

This deficit only continued to extend throughout the second half, even while Moama improved on the attacking end.

Rumba ended its day 27-points clear of Moama with the emphatic victory emblematic of the work required by the Magpies if they wish to claim the ultimate revenge of flag glory in 2025.

The final score was Moama 30 to Rumbalara 57.

Echuca United v Numurkah

Echuca United couldn’t replicate it’s round one success against Tongala when it battled Numurkah in round two, falling to the home side by seven-goals.

In a tight first quarter, both side found the net 10 times to leave scores level entering the second phase of the game.

That is where Numurkah found some room to move, but only marginally, crawling out to a four goal league when the siren sounded for half-time.

Keeping pace into the third term, Numurkah just held on to its lead, the deficit now just three goals.

However, it was the final frame where the home side got away, with the Eagles only coming up with six goals down the stretch to Numurkah’s 10.

The final score was Echuca United 33 to Numurkah 40, despite a valiant effort by the Eagles.
