Sprayerbarn Spinouts and Cougars entered the evening ranked second and third, respectively, and they played against one another in round eight. It was Cougars that got the job done 7-4 to climb above their opponents into second.

The other Pool A match saw bottom-ranked side Win Or Booze go in search of their first on-field victory of the campaign when they met the fifth-placed Priag Patriots, but it was the Patriots that prevailed 4-1 to leap Tradies and Ladies into fourth place.
