Fields cement finals as Chad bags 100

Nathan Page and Will Barker booted three each for the Fields, while Charlie Dillon shone for the Vukltures with three of his own in a standout display. The Fields will now face the Blacks in next week’s elimination final.

Chad Jones bagged his 100^th goal for the season during St Bernard’s commanding 154-point win over Ajax at Gary Smorgon Oval. 18 unanswered goals in the opening three terms showcased the Snow Dogs’ dominance with Jones leading the charge with six goals, taking his season tally to 101 from 15 games. Luke Di Lizio (5) and Jack McNamara (4) caused their fair share of damage on the scoreboard, while Jeremy Forbes and Joshua Ludski fought bravely for the Jackas.
