Stonnington came away with the Cup in the netball match (34 v 24) with Eliza Dahaher and Travis Ellams winning the Blue Ribbon Most Valuable Player award.

Port Phillip easily came away victors in the AFL game, 72 v 37. Rodney Miller’s son Jimmy won the Blue Ribbon Medal for the Saints and Marcus Schroen for Port.
