The second game of the day started quickly with Brock Honsa kicking the first goal for the Dugites from inside the goal circle. From there the Wasps defence worked hard to stop the ball reaching the goal circle while kicking the ball into their forward half where the Dugites defence rebounded the ball back frequently. Honsa let fly a long kick from just inside half pitch which skidded through the Wasp goal keeper’s hands for another Dugite goal. Quickly after the restart, Wasps forward Morgan Scoffern managed to kick the ball through the Dugite goal keeper for the Wasps first.

The second half again saw good defence from both teams, before another long strike from Deegan Cummings found the net for the Dugites third goal. The Wasps then moved the ball forward causing the Dugite defence to crumble when Oliver Lister kicked the Wasps second goal. The ball continued being passed between the two defensive lines, with great skills and a lot of courageous play making from both teams not allowing another score for some time.
