With only three rounds to go, Harvey have been pushing to reach the finals and a grand scalp would have been handy.
It wasn't meant to be as the Hawks kept the home side scoreless in the first quarter.
As the teams changed ends, so did the momentum as it was the Hawks turn to remain scoreless in the second term.
The Bulls went into half time five points in front of Hawks.
Augusta Margaret River outscored Harvey in the third quarter with four goals to the Bulls' two.
The Hawks went into the last term 10 points in front and kept the momentum going.

The final score was 6.4.40 to 11.11.77.
