Although they conceded the first goal, Subiaco looked in control taking an 18-point lead at the first break.

However, West Perth were able to fight back with two quick goals in the second, and it became an arm wrestle.

In the third, the Falcons got on a run, kicking five goals to two before Subiaco fought to stage a comeback in the last.

They managed to get within nine points in the late stages of the match, but West Perth proved too strong and claimed the win.

The Colts side was within touching distance of their opponent all day, but could not surge past the Falcons who took the 14.10 (94) to 9.7 (61) win.
