Baghdad Bombers (11-5; 3rd) v Dragons (10-5-1; 2nd)
Abdu Prison
The Bombers travelled to Van Cordlandt Park to take on the Warriors but took some time to get going, kicking just one goal in the first term. A near perfect two quarters followed as the Bombers kicked 9.1 to 0.1 on their way to a 29-point win. Six players scored 65+ Dream Team points but Kilroy was the standout with 17 disposals, seven marks and five tackles.
The Dragons hosted the East Side Phoenix in a see-sawing battle that saw them overcome a four-goal deficit late in the second quarter to hit the lead late in the third term and hold on for a five-point win. Ljp86 was best afield for the Dragons with 18 disposals and three goals.
Match of the round sees the second-placed Dragons travel to Abdu Prison to take on the third-placed Bombers for a chance to displace Gumbies FFC at the top of the ladder.
