Welcome wiinter, it was a classic wet slog at the Drouin rec reserve. Traralgon demonstrated why they are one of the top teams in the competition with a strong 4 quarter performance. Traragon didn't have it all their own way with a smaller but just as determined Drouin side keepng the Maroons honest. The ball was hotty contested at every stoppage and the Maroons better delivery proved to much for the Hawks. The Hawks held the Maroons well for three quarters but a 5 goal final term found Traralgon 85 point winners at the final bell.
