Federals ran away with the match against arch rivals Corryong to sew up fourth spot and a finals spot, spoiling the Demons' 2001 and 2002 premiership reunions in the process. A surprise starter for the Swans was favourite son Darryn McKimmie whose cameo role included two classy goals.

Federal  4.2, 8.6, 16.12, 22.16 (148) d Corryong 3.5, 5.7, 6.8, 6.9 (45)

Bullioh almost caused a boilover, storming home in the last quarter to fail by a single point against Tumbarumba, albeit the Roos were missing its two leading goal kickers.

Tumbarumba 7.5, 9.6, 14.8, 16.9 (105) d Bullioh 1.1, 8.5, 10.7, 16.8 (104).
