Jai Kenny got over for his second early in the second half to level the game before Henry Taylor crossed for two tries either side of a length-of-the-field effort from Morris to give J Fallon Building a three-try lead.

The sides traded tries before Jack Johns and Josh De Rossi made it a one-try game, but J Fallon held on to take the win.

MJ Hams Transport secured a 7-6 win over George Duncan Electrics, while The Legend joined the fight after a 10-6 win over Guidolin Agrimac.
