Dromana kicked four goals to one in the last to fall just short.
Sam Fowler slotted three goals for Dromana, while Jonathon Ross and Christopher Irving scored two each for Red Hill.
It was a bad day for Edithvale-Aspendale as they were smashed by Bonbeach by over 100 points.

‘Contaminate’ waste and pay
MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is about to tackle waste and rubbish on several fronts.
It has adopted a carrot and stick approach to recycling, with fines for recycled waste being “contaminated” and offering the chance to win a $100 voucher to households “doing the right thing”.
Smoking is also being banned in some reserves and on popular foreshores and beaches, although no penalties will be imposed on anyone defying warning signs.
Recycling bins will be randomly checked for non-recyclable materials, with households doing the right thing going into a monthly draw for a $100 voucher.
Households with contaminated bins will be given a list of items that cannot be recycled and, if are serial offenders, face fines of up to $330.
