Sunday morning would bring about the start of finals in the eldest age-level competition, the boys under-16 to under-17 division, all held at Shepparton Sports City.

First up was the La Trobe University Regional Team battling with YTSSC for a place in the semis against Sunraysia, with a berth in the decider opposite The Last Dance on the line.

YTSSC scooped the tie 2-1 and followed up by holding Sunraysia at bay 1-0 in the semi-final before falling short in its third game of the day.
