In a very entertaining game the Swampies scored a converted try in the final minute to win 24-16 and grab the competition points.

The Bay trailed 12-10 at half time. As the two competition heavy weights went head-to-head, Ben Schneider was non-stop and picked up the players' player award. Full back Rob Bryant was the best back and Blake Fuller won the coaches' award.

Birthday girl Lydia McQueen had a fine game.
