The two games played in the ladies league on Thursday night saw Sleepwell Slammers take on Dacom, while the newly crowned league champions Fellas took on Search and Select Saints, looking to complete an unbeaten season. With the Slammers quickly out of the blocks against Dacom, they raced into a 16-4 point lead at the end of the first quarter. Continuing with a high pressure defence and with Sarah Madrell hitting eight points in the quarter, they went into the half time break leading 36-9. There was no respite for the Dacom team throughout the second half and with the Slammers scoring freely they eventually ran out 61 - 16 winners.
