In an important game for both clubs, for two very different reasons, the first quarter was all Mitiamo. Miti blasted out of the blocks, kicking the first 4 goals in a free flowing game from both sides. 2 late goals from Marong kept them in touch at quarter time. The second was a real struggle, and the half time score reflected as both teams went in at 7.2. Miti came out blazing in the 3rd, their run through the middle stretching Marong's defence. Kicking 5 goals to 1 for the quarter, and playing a good brand of footy, Miti looked to have the game sewn up at 3/4 time; going in with a 25 point lead. With the '89 premiership side looking on, Marong were not to be out done kicking the first 4 of the quarter to take bake the lead. Miti goaled to take back the lead but a late goal to the Panthers minutes before the siren saw them take the win in what was a fantastic game of football.
