Kyabram (4-1-6) and Euroa (5-1-5) each achieved crucial away wins in the fight for fourth, with the former accounting for East Shepparton (4-7) and the latter downing Rushworth (2-9).

Top division two side Kyabram was put to the sword by Tallygaroopna in the main talking point of the GVPA’s second tier, maintaining a grip on first place despite the 14-86 to 2-55 thrashing.
