Emmaus St Leo’s has officially hit its straps in 2016 with their consecutive victory a 30-point win against Old Eltham Collegians at Bennettswood Sports Ground. Leading by 58 points at three quarter time, the Animals allowed six goals to two as the Turtles continued to fight as per every time they run out. Thomas Birkett kicked five alongside Chris Beluszar’s four for the Animals, while Brian Galvin (five) and Ben Gill replicated the feat for the Turtles. The Animals move to fifth on the ladder and the Turtles hold up the rest of the section in ninth.

Dylan Muscast kicked three and made it 11 in three weeks, while Chris Germon continued the outstanding form he’s showcased so far this year for the winning side.
