The Dragons started the match in great form and were able to turn around the earlier results to take a 34-24 win in an excellent match, which gave them the opportunity to contest the gold-silver medal play-off.

Bendigo took on the highly fancied Jazz, which had representatives from many states on court.

The grand finalists had a win each when they met in the preliminary rounds.

Jazz led by two at the first change, and Bendigo by a goal at half-ime.

Jazz capitalised on a turnover and went on to win a high-standard match, 21-19.

The Bendigo Dragons line-up included players from across Bendigo, with a player from Melbourne and Gisborne also on court for the Masters Games showdowns.
