Each team took four sets and 35 in the match, leaving the sides fifth and sixth respectively and outside the A1 playoff bracket.
The top tier's other two fixtures were more one-sided; Shepparton Lawn Green had no trouble seeing off Mooroopna Cats Blue 7-44 to 1-20, while Shepparton Lawn Blue won well against Kialla Park Blue, 8-48 to 0-18.
B1 play had a series of thrilling matches, with three of four fixtures decided by five games or less.
