After going the first four rounds without any luck it was a depleted Buangor outfit that stood in Blue's way.

The visiting Blue Burrahs grabbed their chances while they could and soared into a winnable position leading into the mixed matches.

An age difference of more than five times was no barrier for young gun Theo Browne and Ararat import John Hannett, forming a formidable partnership for Blue.

The 28 game chase was too much for the home side in the end as Landsborough Blue ran away with a commanding 41 game win.

Claire Monaghan's return was a monster effort, winning all three sets after only giving birth to their second child a fortnight earlier.

Over to Landsborough it wasn't the same result for the White side with Elmhurst-Amphitheatre taking the win.

The combined club flexed their muscles in the blokes section to give them a quality buffer over the home team.

However, shots were fired straight back as the Landsborough ladies grabbed the points in a powerful showing.

With just two games the difference and three mixed sets to play it was set to be a cracking finish.

Elmhurst-Amphitheatre got the jump and never looked back, handing Josh Barker, Matt Veitch and super sub Alex Drosg their third win each for the afternoon and themselves a tough 14 game victory.
