Tyson Ellis kicked 3 goals for Ulverstone as did Richard Bell for Clarence.
Ulverstone opened the game with 2 goals in the first quarter while Clarence could manage only 7 behinds. Without scoreboard pressure Ulverstone cruised along until into the third quarter when Clarence started to claw their way back to trail by only 3 points at three quarter time.
During a physical, see-sawing final quarter where the lead changed several times, the vocal crowd of parents from both schools was treated to some spectacular marking and dire defensive football.
