After half-time and a couple of positional changes moving Will Moffat into the midfield and Riley Bechaz-Hatton into the back-line evened out the game with both teams kicking three goals in the second half.
Best on ground for the Dockers were Riley Bechaz-Hatton, Spencer Plummer, Jake Tucker, Will Moffat and Abby Meehan.
Final score, Docker 4-2-26 to Nambucca 9-9-63.
The under 13's saw the Dockers host the Grafton Tigers in what turned out to be a very scrappy affair with congested footy in occasional Gail force winds blowing across the ground causing the Tigers to miss a lot of scoring opportunities.
The first quarter saw the Dockers kick two goals one behind to the Tigers one goal and five behinds.
The second quarter saw the Tigers kick three unanswered goals and six behinds with Lilly Tough from the Tigers playing outstanding football in the midfield.
South West Rocks played well in the second half with Savannah Bechaz-Hatton performing well in the ruck and Tom Cunningham starring at full-back but to no avail.
Best on ground for the Dockers were Bechaz-Hatton, Cunningham and Lahkai Kelly.
Final scorers were Dockers 3-3-21 to Tigers 7-18-60.
Next Sunday the Dockers under 11's travel to Fitzroy Oval in Coffs Harbour to take on the Coffs Breakers whilst under 13's have the bye.
