Goulburn Murray Junior League took on Murray Football League in an under-16 interleague clash on the King’s Birthday public holiday.

Four junior interleague matches in total were held at Rochester with the top-billing under-16 and under-15 fixtures held at Moon Oval and the under-14s and under-13s held at Windridge Oval.

Goulburn Murray proved far too strong for its under-16 rivals in the end, winning the match 22.11 (143) to 5.3 (33).
