Another big weekend of Gridiron Victoria 2012!

In Reservoir the reigning division one champion Bay City Buccaneers faced the Berwick Miners. The Miners returned the opening kick off to the house and an early lead but from there the Buccaneers took control, running out winners 47-7.

In the afternoon the home town Northern Raiders welcomed the Croydon Stars to town. Mirroring the early game the Stars returned the opening kick off for a touchdown but from there it was all Raiders who cruised to an easy win 32-6.

Over in Parkville the Western Crusaders went up against the Croydon Rangers. Both teams committed a lot of turnovers as the Crusaders got home 20-14 in a very tough match.

In the afternoon game the home town Melbourne Uni Royals hosted the Gippsland Gladiators. Both sides fought hard all day but the Royals got the win 35-20 and head to the bye week on top of division 2 at 3-0.
