Goondiwindi moved up to third on the AFL Darling Downs ladder after a win over Toowoomba Tigers at Rockville Park.
The Hawks got on top in the first quarter and went on to run out 15.16 (106) to 7.8 (50) winners.
David O'Toole kicked seven goals for Goondiwindi in the win.
The result takes Goondiwindi to a 2-2 record which is good enough for third spot on the ladder. The race for finals spots has been thrown wide open after South Burnett notched its first win of the season over previously undefeated Coolaroo.
South Burnett posted a 15.10 (106) to 10.18 (78) victory at Lyle Vidler Oval. The Saints led by one goal at quarter-time before Coolaroo edged in front to lead at half-time.
South Burnett then reclaimed the lead in the third quarter and went on to post a 22-point win. That is despite Adam Green kicking seven goals for Coolaroo in a beaten team.
University now remains the only unbeaten team after the Cougars downed South Toowoomba at USQ. Uni recorded a convincing 17.9 (111) to 7.3 (45) win to stay top of the table.
Meanwhile, South Toowoomba and Toowoomba Tigers won their women's competition matches.
