MATCH REVIEW

Ellinbank overcame Catani at home on Saturday winning by 19 points.

The Eagles finished the first term in front by more than a goal after kicking four majors and three behinds.

The Blues had responded with three goals two. As they headed into the second term, the Blues were well within reach of the lead.

The home side slotted another two majors and three behinds in the second, with Catani hot on their heels, finishing the quarter with a total of six goals three.

Just two points separated the sides at the main break, the Eagles maintaining their slim controlling margin. But they sped away in the third as the Eagles forwards kicked five majors by the end of the term.

The Blues in comparison had added just one goal to their halftime tally. The score was 11.7-73 to 7.5-47 as they headed into the final quarter. That 26 -point margin was too much for the visitors, but they still put in a gallant effort, booting three goals four before the final siren sounded to bring their final tally to 10.9-69. The Eagles won the day, finishing on 13.10-88.

Jake Harper was best on ground for the victors. He was backed up by the efforts of Steven Ballingall, Mitch Cowan, Tom Robertson, Michael Urie and Ben Wragg.

MATCH REVIEW

WITH a solid 4 quarter effort Nyora have kicked their way to a convincing victory against a young Yarragon side.

The star of the show was Ben Schultz who made his way to nine goals for the second week running.

Gifted a few from team mates including the selfless Ilan Osman, he almost made his way to ten.

Dylan Heylen and Nick Carrigy were two of Nyora’s most influential onballers, both winning the ball and making poised decisions to deliver via handball or foot.

Nyora used the wind well in the first term, but Yarragon worked hard too – kicking two straight their goals were well earnt. Yarragon dropped three back after the first quarter making things harder for the likes of Tim Burns and Adam Tagliaferro. Simon Noy was one of Yarragon’s most influential, his small-style big-impact style coming to light in the good conditions. Nick Carrigy worked hard in the ruck all day flying to many Saints’ centre clearances. The locals were playing attacking football off the half backline moving forward, as they looked for central targets and the straight foot of Schultz.

MATCH REVIEW

Poowong overcame a three-point first quarter to grab an important win over Neerim Neerim South on Saturday. The Magpies showed resilience to win 61-58 and hold onto third place on the ladder. The Cats got on top of the home side early, swarming them to win the ball and blocking off any avenues to goal.

Poowong could not register a major in the first term, kicking 0.3.

They were perhaps lucky though that Neerim Neerim South were inaccurate, as they kicked 1.5 to lead 11-3 at quarter-time.

The Magpies began to lift in the second term, winning more of the contested footy and creating opportunities inside their attacking 50. This allowed forwards like Hazendonk, Hancock and Hooker to come into the game and find the ball through their leading and movement. The home side pegged the Cats back in the term and went into the main break down a single point, 22-23.

Both teams were evenly matched in the third quarter, each winning a good amount of the ball and producing multiple chances at goal. Urie and Ward got on the board for the Cats, putting them further ahead before the Magpies surged back.

The home side put together a strong stretch of play through the rest of the third and kicked efficiently at goal.

Their accurate kicking saw them take their first lead into the final break, 41-38. With it all to do in the fourth quarter, Poowong showed their grit, going hard at it inside and using the ball fast and well through the congestion to setup scoring opportunities. Neerim Neerim South were also up to the challenge though, countering well off of half-back and hitting the scoreboard. While the Magpies were efficient in front of goal though, the Cats missed one too many, kicking 3.3 to Poowong’s 3.2 in the term and leaving with a three-point loss.
