Saints, Bears & Monders set standard in Div 1

The aspirations of clubs are always on show in the opening rounds and this heightened need to make a statement is prevalent in Division 1.

Whitefriars are on the board in 2015, after they secured the four points at Bulleen Templestowe with a 43 point win at Ted Ajani Reserve.

Old Geelong too opened their account in 2015 with a high scoring 68 point win over Old Melntonians at Como Park. Six goals to Young and five to de Crespigny were the main options for OGs, but all in all ten players kicked goals in their 26 goal total.

Ormond continued their impressive start to the year with a 62 point win over a hapless Yarra Valley. The result would have been bitter sweet for former Ormond coach Brett Rowe who was at the helm of a Bushrangers side that are now 0-2.

Kew continued their winning start to Division 1, as the Bears proved too good for Prahran Assumption at Victoria Park. The Bears home by eight points against the Two Blues. Prahran Assumption are finally back at home next week as they seek their first win.

St Mary’s Salesian fired a warning shot to the rest of the section as they thrashed NOB/St Par’s by 69 points at Ferndale Park. The Saints are flying at the moment and five goals from Holmes and four more from Puruntatameri have helped St Mary’s to the top of the ladder after two rounds.
