Chris Michalak and Kolbee Fleay paved the way for Patriots to be 3-0 up at half-time.
Centaurs went 4-0 down when Jaydon Ellery scored his second for the night.
Centaurs scored a consolation goal through some good play from Kyle Davies and Nathan Macintyre but it was a case of too little too late as Patriots showed why they won the competition last year.
The second game saw Mustangs play Co-op. Co-op were slightly under manned for the night and Mustangs took full advantage.
Both Kyle and Dane Marley were running the show as Mustangs piled on the pressure early.
Co-op couldn't hold Mustangs at bay for long despite the best efforts of Jakob Pilatti in goals and some good finishing from the forwards saw Mustangs up 4-0 at the half.
Mustangs continued the second half as the first with Dave OBrien and Conner Mumme allowing the goals to keep flowing.
Co-op grabbed a goal through Benson Sanford to stem the flow but the game was already over with Mustangs running out 7-1 winners.
