Dogs advance over Cats
Bunyip advanced through to the Reserves grand final with victory over the previously undefeated Neerim-Neerim South in the second semi final.
The Cats were left to rue missed opportunities, with a 2-10 return to three-quarter-time keeping the Bulldogs in the match.
Trailing by just six-points at the final change, the Bulldogs had a sniff and didn’t let the opportunity slip. They banged through five goals while keeping the Cats to just one-point to win 7-5 (47) to 2-11 (23).
Mitchell Young booted four goals to be best for the Bulldogs. Sam Davies, Matthew Sloan, James Hynes and David Bates supported him.
Mathew Churchill, Jack Fallon, Chris Saunders, Darren Ratten, Jack Erickson and Tim Beaurain were listed as the better players for the Cats.
Cobras through
Cora Lynn’s under 18 side will join their senior counterparts in action on grand final day after winning through with a tight win over Buln Buln, 4-12 (36) to 2-8 (20).
The Lyrebirds held a narrow three-point lead at half time, but failed to score a goal in the second half to go down.
Buln Buln will now need to advance through the preliminary final and may have to sweat on the availability of Sam Savige who is on report.
Brayden Weller, Michael Rossetti, Lachlan Miceli, Lochie Peluso, Tristan Fernandez-Phillips and Ben Virgona helped the Cobras to victory.
Nicholas Castle, Sean Symes, James Ireland, Jake Pierrehumbert, Jarrod Castle and Reece Campbell best served the Lyrebirds.
Cobras have three
Cora Lynn will have three of its four teams in the grand final, with its under 16s also winning through over Koo wee rup, 9-7 (61) to 5-3 (33).
Trailing by six-points at half time, the Cobras clicked into gear to kick six goals to one in the second half and run our comfortable victor.
Matthew Ryan kicked three goals, while Chase Blackwood, Darcy Jones, Corey Brook, Patrick Briffa and Ryan Hartley were also named amongst the best.
Jack Johns, Matthew Voss, Luke Edwards, Mitchell Davey, Brody Sungalis and Mitchell Cammarano were the better players for the Demons.
