We knew Mansfield was going to be a tough game and they didn't disappoint. They were the first to get on the score board, closely followed by an equalising try and a conversion that took us in the lead. This did not last as Mansfield scored another two tries and conversions before half time. Melbourne were unable to claw back by the final whistle.
Well done to Oscar, Joel and Ben Jones for their debut appearance.
Final score 26 - 7
Man of the match went to Mackenzie for his hard work and ability to slot into various positions throughout the game.
