Tatyoon secures fourth spot

- BY JONATHAN BOX

Tatyoon has jumped into fourth position on the Mininera and District Football League ladder and taken a four-point advantage over five other teams after beating SMW Rovers at the weekend by 42 points.

Mitch Cronin did his role for the team, kicking five goals, while Tom Veale kicked three.

Tim Mcdougall is always a strong performer for the Hawks and last week was no exception with his use out of the middle. Shaun Fuller also played well.

Woorndoo-mortlake, on the other hand, is coming off an eight-point loss at the hands of Glenthomps­on-dunkeld.

Inaccurate kicking with a score line of 8.17 certainly did not help the Tigers.

Grant Cameron and Stephen Fitzgerald kicked three and two goals respective­ly, and Travis Ware, who also kicked a goal, was named best on ground.

Lismore-derrinallu­m will take on Wickliffe-lake Bolac this week and show no signs of slowing down following a 144-point win over Caramut at the weekend.

With Michael Lockyer and Wayne Loader both kicking eight goals and another five from Ryan Elliot, their forward line is definitely working well. Tim Turner and James Boag were also strong contributo­rs on the day and they joined Lockyer and Loader in the list of better players.

Wickliffe-lake Bolac, sitting third on the ladder, would love nothing better than to knock off the undefeated top team.

The Magpies are coming off a strong win last week over the Ararat Eagles by 131 points.

The Magpies came out strongly and did not take their foot off the pedal.

With Rhys Otto kicking seven goals, William Slattery five, Harley Hunter three and seven other players contributi­ng goals of their own, they had the Eagles backline working overtime.

SMW Rovers will be disappoint­ed with their loss against Tatyoon at the weekend and need to bounce back when they host Moyston-willaura to stay in touch with the top five.

Moyston-willaura is sitting second on the ladder and only four points behind Lismoreder­rinallum.

The Pumas will go into Saturday’s round 11 match with plenty of confidence after last week taking the points off Penshurst by 145 points in a very strong performanc­e.

In other games, Ararat Eagles host Glenthomps­on-dunkeld, Hawkesdale-macarthur plays Caramut at home and Great Western makes the long journey to Penshurst to take on the Bombers.
