Gold came away with an exhilarating 4.10 (34) to 4.7 (31) win.

An evenly-matched contest throughout, Gold would pull ahead in the final term, with the wayward Maroon unable to match Gold’s single-goal advantage.

Alex Whitlock booted two goals for Maroon, while Thomas Mellington was a key contributor for his side.

Ben O’Brien stole the plaudits for Gold.
