BYE’s new addition, Daniel Howard, scored their only goal.

The second game of the night featured Peak-CSA versus No Fear Here.

They have spent the entire off-season training, preparing and waiting for the competition to start.

Most of their players have never kicked the felt ball before.
No Fear Here held their own in the first half only trailing 3–4 at the break.
Peak-CSA came out in the second half with more purpose after the shake-up they got in the first half.
They ran out 11–5 winners.
Naidu Nagaiya top scored for Peak-CSA with seven goals, Greg Brown (2) and Ashneel Kumar (1) as well as one own goal.
No Fear Here goals were scored by Bill Douglas (2), Jim Tara (2) and Travis Buckman (1).
