Although the game was at times very physical the Cobras were never threatened finishing the game strong. The Cobras had many contributors with 5 players in double figures.

During the second quarter the scores, neither team able to get ahead by more than a couple of buckets. The third quarter saw AIS lift their intensity; and Nunawading struggled to contain their younger opposition and slipped 20 points behind.
