Week 4 saw UTas and Bread face off in a top of the table clash. The weather once again turned it on, a warm evening with light gusts. UTas started well, getting the first two points, and holding onto a decent lead to be up 6-3 well into the game. UTas were playing really well on D, and utilising good and patient options on O. After this, Bread regrouped and started effectively shutting down the in-cuts. UTas went to a hit and miss long game, but failed to convert on the goal line a couple of crucial times. Bread's well held structure and drilling proved telling as they slowly gained a lead and pushed it to two points, 9-7.
UTas picked it up again, pulling close off a fine intercept from Sophie off Bread's first throw, 8-9, dropped another one, 8-10, and then threw on a surprise zone near UTas's offensive endzone that put enough pressure to get the turn and score, 9-10. The final point commenced, and after a series of turns was halted by the hard cap.
Bread deservedly won in a tight and immaculately spirited game off the back of good defensive work and competent offence. UTas had significantly improved defensive work, and Nic Jansen continued his sensational form to be one of UTas's best on the night.
