A fierce battle ensued in the first half, the Blues taking the lead first, seven points in front at quarter time, then Port at half time by 14 points. But unfortunately the Magpies could not keep that effort up and the wheels fell off, a scoreless third term allowed the Blues to kick 5.4. Port's forwards wasted opportunities on goal kicking 1.4, not so for Sturt who added 19 points. No cigar for Knights this time, Sturt by 29 points.
