With its defence smothering at times, it forced Physed to make errors which it then capitalised on. Physed worked hard throughout the game, at times scoring evenly with the top-of-the-table team, but was unable to do so consistently. Ross and goal defence Brooke Johnston got themselves in good rebounding position under the hoop. Ross continued to disrupt Southern play, but the experience Magpies side was able to retain the ball and convert. It led by 22 goals heading into the final quarter, which it extended to 29 by the time the final whistle sounded.
