 In an entertaining first half Kwinana produced many chances but only managed to convert the one after a cracking volley from Liam "Kenny" Nolan. After half time with many players tiring Melville scored a good goal, driving the ball past the helpless Howie the "Cat".

The game then ebbed and flowed and Melville scored their second after a cross from the right was headed home by Doug Soutar giving the "Cat" no chance, Kwinana picked up a gear and got there just rewards with a penalty taken with style by Doug Soutar after a push on "Kenny".
