3 quarter time

Perth 78
Wollongong 63

Bit of drama at the end - foul against Wollongong with 1.7 seconds left, but time clock expires. Once the clock was reset, the clock didn't start for a clear 2-3 seconds, allowing Perth to score a 3 from the car park!

Massive blunder by the score bench!

Oh dear. Looks like Perth will run away with it quite comfortably in the end.
