The game was in the balance at three quarter-time with the Dragons narrowly ahead by one, 33-32.

However, an early burst in the final quarter gave the Dragons some breathing space as they were able to ease away to a 44-41 victory and inflict just the second loss of the season on Kangaroo Flat, which had finished on top of the ladder.
