Good defence from both sides made scoring very difficult.

Glen Grant scored both Bairnsdale goals with Tom Goodwin scoring for Sale.

Wurruk showed why it is a finals contender with a solid 3-1 win over Maffra.

Wurruk's goals were scored by Peter Stewart, Warren Breddels and Steve Hill, while Maffra's goal was scored by Mark Humphris.

Maffra continues to improve weekly and will be a side to watch over the next couple of years.

Swan Reach was too strong for the young Nagle side, winning 6-0, while Orbost had a 2-1 win over Churchill.

SALE Cygnets defeated the other Sale women's side, the Swans, 3-0 with goals from Heather Andrews, Judi Klimas and Prue McNaughton.

Maffra Red dominated against Wurruk, winning 19-0. Kate O'Toole scored five goals, Karen Humphris, Janette Ingram, Sharon Mogridge and Kate Steinmann each scored three goals, one each for Jo O'Doherty and Kahlia Hillbrich.

Maffra Black put in a strong performance against the undefeated Orbost side, but lost 3-0.

The inexperienced side has improved greatly since losing by eight goals against Orbost in round two.

Swan Reach began strongly against Nagle with early goals and went om to win 5-3.

TOMORROW, Maffra Red will play the Sale Swans in what is potentially a good game, Orbost will play at Wurruk's new home ground at the Sale Little Athletics field and will probably be too strong, Nagle clashes with Maffra Black and Sale Cygnets play Swan Reach.

The men's match of the round will be between second-placed Sale and third-placed Swan Reach, Bairnsdale should win comfortably against Maffra, Churchill and Maffra will be a good game as both continue to improve, while the Wurruk-Orbost game promises to be a good game.
