The locals led strongly at the last break, but stalled late on, almost opening the door for a Sandhurst comeback, but United held on 4.4 (28) to 3.8 (26). Sandhurst continued to be wayward in the second, but managed to sneak one between the sticks, the weight of minor scores proving an advantage for now as the host led by three at the main break. Having now picked up its fourth win, United (4-1-7) moves up into a respectable sixth place in its first season in the league. United takes on one of the league’s better sides, White Hills, in its home finale this Sunday, but the Eagles will take some confidence from scoring the upset win in the previous meeting on July 12. The side then concludes its season away against Marong the following Sunday.
