Division 4- East Finals
St. Kilda vs. Melbourne 7-2
The home team’s hitting streak continued in Sunday’s game. The Saints came into this matchup with confidence, having smashed their way into the Grand Final with a 33-2 win over Monash in round one. While their bats were slightly subdued by Melbourne pitching, St. Kilda still cruised to the premiership. Melbourne beat Blackburn 8-3 in the first round, but they weren’t able to catch up to the Saints in the end.

Division 4- South
St. Kilda vs. Bonbeach 5-14
The second-place Saints fell to fourth-place Bluejays as Bonbeach earned three flags in one day, including the 16’s and 18’s. Bonbeach successfully manufactured a big victory with lots of runs, much like their 8-21 win at Cheltenham in round one. While St. Kilda beat Monash 12-7 last weekend, they were unable to produce the same results against the Bluejays’ solid pitching and defense.
