MALDON (36) def by ROYAL PARK (55)
Royal Park took a much-needed victory, securing a 19-goal win against Maldon.
A big third quarter was the catalyst for their success, allowing them to stay in 10th position as a result.
Bushy made the stronger start by scoring 14 goals to nine in the first period to open up a five-goal lead, but the second quarter belonged to Maldon, as they closed the gap by scoring 13 goals to 11 to leave the game tight at half time.
However, the break did wonders for Royal Park, as they came out all guns blazing in the third term, dominating every aspect of the game, scoring 18 goals to four to end the contest by taking a 17-goal lead at the final change.
Bushy eased to victory from there, scoring 12 goals to 10 to take a victory that kicks off their final month as a club before their merger with Maryborough Rovers next season.
Abbey Devereaux scored 32 goals, while Jess Egan added 23 for the Tigers, while for Maldon, Zoe Backway led the way with 23 goals.
