The under-11 Wallabies and Burrawang fought out a nailbitting 0-0 draw. Both teams had good opportunities to score, but defence ruled the day. Bowral almost scored in the last 12 seconds in a good, even game.
The Minkeys had their first win of the season with a 1-0 victory over Mittagong. Monique Bernie had an excellent game, scoring the winning goal. Mittagong tried hard to fight back but the defence from Emma Brown and Kelsie Bernie proved too strong, while Emma Kawelewski and Harry Pinczi both played well.
