We were treated to glorious weather.
Nirranda forward Jesse Dalton came to play and kicked the first two goals of the football match.
Young tiger Jyron Neave got his team's first with a beautiful on the run goal.
The Blues took a two-point lead into quarter-time.
Nirranda started the second quarter well.
Gary 'The Big Show' Robinson kicked a goal after a 50 metre penalty.
He followed up with some great ground work in the 50 which ended up in Daniel Craven's hands for a dribble goal.
Tigers defender Todd McLean was swung forward and kept his side in it with a couple of goals.
Neave kicked another and the Tigers took a four-point lead into half-time.
It was a tight third quarter and Jason Rowan, in search of 100 goals for the year, kicked two majors.
The Tigers took a nine-point lead into three-quarter time and there was a big melee at the final break.
Nirranda's midfield dominated the final term and Robinson put on a clinic.
He kicked three goals to put the game beyond doubt.
The Blues ran out with a 24-point victory and face the Power next week.
Dennington's motivation for another premiership lifted it to a two-goal victory over Merrivale.
The Dogs started fast, before Merrivale fought back to edge in front at three-quarter time.
Dennington shot away in the last term with some cool and collected shooting for goal to clinch the win.
The Dogs will face Nirranda in a semi final next weekend.
