Magpies keeping up momentum

Wickliffe-lake Bolac shows no signs of slowing after another big win last weekend in a top-of-the-table clash against Penshurst.

The Magpies were victorious by more than 15 goals.

Wickliffe-lake Bolac came out firing, having a commanding lead early, up by 26 points at quarter time, a lead that would blow out to 33 points by the main break.

The visiting Bombers did not put up much of a fight after half time and the in-form Magpie midfield of Brad Keilar and Bailey Veale, along with Tom Gibson and Chris Thornton across half back, sealed the win with an 11-goal-to-one half.

This week Moyston-willaura is the next team in Wickliffe-lake Bolac’s unbeaten sights.

The Pumas are sitting on four wins and three losses after seven rounds and are coming off back-to-back losses in the past two weeks, the most recent at the hands of Glenthompson-dunkeld.

Moyston-willaura was behind the whole game on Saturday and despite the best efforts of Mitchell Laundry, Ryan Nellthorp and Luke Walker, was unable to claw its way back into the game.

Aaron Byron and Mathew Peel showed a bit of effort in front of goal, kicking four between them.

The Pumas will be looking for another performance of multiple goals this week.

SMW Rovers, coming off their second win for the season, travel to Great Western to take on the Lions.

The Rovers got away to a commanding lead over Woorndoo-mortlake, kicking seven goals in the first quarter, however, the Tigers staged a comeback, outscoring the Bulldogs for the rest of the game. It was the Rovers, however, who came away with the win.

Midfielders Lachlan Pickering and Ben Jackson did most of the heavy lifting, while James Costigan played his role up forward.

After a score line of 12 goals and 16 points, the Bulldogs will be keen to clean up their accuracy and make it two wins in a row.

Standing in the way of this is Great Western. The Lions started the season flying with three wins from their first three games. Since then, however, the Lions have fallen on tougher times, losing four on the trot. A 10-goal loss to Tatyoon was the most recent outcome, and although the Lions fought back to outscore the Hawks in the second term, a 12-goal-tofour second half sealed their fate.

Samuel Cocks went well, adding another three goals, while Steven Lorenzo managed four.

Nicholas Dunford, Joshua Hustler and Nigel Sibson are all in good form and the Lions will be looking for a launch back into the winners circle.
