After the break the Broome Towns continued to control the ground, managing to kick another two goals to bring them closer to the Greenbacks scoreline, 7.5 (47) to 5.3 (33).

The Towns ferocious efforts allowed them to score a final goal in the fourth term but strides made by Cable Beach’s defence, including an impressive performance from Damon Enosa, kept the Towns at bay allowing the Greenbacks to claim the win, 6.6 (42) to 9.6 (60).

Cable Beach’s Wesleigh Hatch led the scoring on three goals.
