Round 3a
Coney Island Warriors v West Coast Wonders
The Warriors and Wonders were to meet in a Round 3 fixture that was well placed to have big impacts on both side's premiership credentials. The Warriors had looked awesome in their previous week's demolition job of the Demons and were keen to reprise the treatment against a second Foundation Cup opponent, while the Wonders themselves were full of confidence after pasting the Gumbies by 37 points the previous week. The game lived up to the hype early - six lead changes in the first quarter before BEEG and Papa Juggs stamped their authority on the game in the second, as the Warriors turned the corner 24 points ahead at half time. The Wonders were not to be headed though, and Sab22 kicked three third quarter goals to haul the Wonders back within eight points at the final break. It looked as though West Coast were heading for a victory for the ages when they broke through to take the lead in the sixteenth minute of the final quarter, but the Warriors rallied strongly and scored in the dying minutes to drag themselves over the line in an excellent game.

Gold City Royals v Baghdad Bombers
Gold City were desperate to open their account for season 29, while the Bombers were looking to build on good work from the previous week. It was Baghdad who got off to what would eventually be the game defining flyer, but they couldn't capitalise - pepperig the goals in an eleven scoring shot to one opening term. On the canvas, The Filth Wizard entered with a 7 minute cameo that produced 3.1, and trimmed the result to 2 points midway through the second before the Bombers reaffirmed control. Not to be denied, the Royals sensed victory and edged their noses in front for the first time on the three quarter time siren thanks to a Kapow!!! major. A Marlowe goal in the first ten seconds from resumption pushed the lead out to eight for the Royals, but the Bombers came with a flurry and with fifteen to play both sides were locked/ In a grinding final quarter, the Bombers found themselves up by a goal with 9 minutes to play, and with neither side being able to wrestle the ball into their forwardline it was enough.

Fighting Furies v Roys FFC
Having lost their first two games, the Furies were keen to resuscitate their season, and a bottom four clash with the Roys presented a perfect opportunity. In what was a tightly contested game, the margin not exceeding seven points at any of the first three breaks, the Furies looked at all times to be slightly better than their opponents - mostly by virute of Tigerturbulance helping himself to 28 disposals and 4 goals in the ruck. When the Furies took the ascendancy with five minutes to play in the third quarter (the 13th match lead change), they never looked back and ran out comfortable 17 point winners.
