Mildura City and Nichols Point meanwhile will face off on Sunday in a battle of the round one victors.

Serial scorer Brandon Pollifrone struck twice within 15 minutes in the first half to give the Cityzens a 2-0 half-time lead, and when Lukas Pedder added another two minutes into the second half, it was all she wrote.
Luca Capizzuto immediately added a goal to gets Knights off the mark, but the scoreboard would remain the same for the rest of the match.
City and Knights played out a thriller in the Senior Women’s grade, with Irymple coming back from a 3-1 half-time deficit to end the match 3-all.
A brace for Tessa Hendy helped lead Nichols Point to a 5-0 win over Northern Suns, with Isabella Inglis, Harmen Grewal and Nicole Batchelor also finding the back of the net.
