The Broome Bulls got away in the second half of the game, scoring another four goals to claim victory, while the Saints scored three, Broome Bulls 10.6 (66) to Saints 9.5 (59). The competition continued on Saturday morning with the Peninsula Bombers Football Club taking on the Derby Tigers Football Club at Haynes Oval.
