All go down to the wire as Div 1 Women’s heats up
It was a footy lover’s dream on the weekend, with all five games of the Div 1 Women’s Comp decided by 11 points or less, with two of those coming
Manningham Cobras proved too strong for Eley Park Sharks as they ran out 55-point winners at Koonung Park. Leading by just two points at half time, the Cobras piled on 10 goals to two in the second half as Christopher Jolly led the way with four majors. Ayden Sukkel chipped in with three for the Cobras while Jason Stephens was best afield. Jesiah McGarvie dobbed four majors for the fourth-placed Sharks alongside a standout performance from Mitch Flynn. The Cobras remain outright third with 10 wins for the year.
Aquinas strengthened their hold on top spot with a comprehensive 137-point victory over Mt Lilydale at the Mercy College. Leading by 56 points at the last break, the Bloods were unrelenting as they piled on 14 goals to one in a one-way, old-fashioned shellacking during the fourth term. Sam Williams kicked eight goals in his first outing for the Bloods this year while Sean Ragozzini nailed four. Max Hampton kicked one and was best for the Rams who sit fifth, a game and half outside the four.
North Brunswick snapped a two-game losing streak when they defeated Elsternwick by 49 points at Elsternwick Park. Trailing by 21 points at quarter time, the Bulls returned to form with 11 of the last 13 goals of the match; including, six unanswered in the fourth term. No bests or goals had been submitted at time of publication. The Bulls sit second behind the Bloods and four spots above the Wickers in sixth.
Parkside made it two wins in a row as they triumphed over St Francis Xavier to the tune of 20 points at Pitcher Park. Leading by just one point at the final break, the Red Devils kicked three goals and seven behinds to one straight major in the fourth to run away with the victory. No bests or goals had been submitted at time of publication. Parkside remain in seventh on the ladder while the X-Men are in ninth.
