Eadie forced Ben Peter to a brilliant save in the 69th minute. Peter had to dive full-length to turn Eadie’s powerful shot wide for a corner.
Glenorchy Knights again relied on player-coach Tom Huigsloot to produce the goods and he duly delivered with a fine hat-trick.

Vasile had the chance to put the home side further ahead as he beat Innis to Huigsloot’s cross in the 55th minute, but his header was wide of the mark.
Prospect Knights missed a good chance in the 66th minute when Chris Pickering found space down the right and flashed a dangerous cross into the six-yard box, but Eadie missed the ball completely.
