The Lakers came out firing on all cylinders in the second kicking three goals, though their inaccurate kicking cost them dearly. Their five minors for the quarter proving vital in the end.
The third was a carbon copy of the first as they Eagles yet again came out firing kicking four goals of their own with the Lakers only managing a single point to lead by 29 points going into the last.
Typical of the trend of the game, the last was a copy of the second as the Eagles faied to make an impact.
The Eagles only managed one goal for the quarter, which saw their lead slowly fade away.
The Lakers managed to pile on 5.3 and looked headed to for victory, but fell agonisingly short.

Led by Bailey James who had a day out with eight majors, the Hawks started the game off with a flurry.
The Cobras managed to only lose the second term by one point, as both teams kicked two goals for the quarter. Though the third was anything but pretty as the Hawks amassed a 15.16 second half to the Cobras 3.1.
