Hawks set to charge

After posting a massive 220-point win over Hawkesdale-macarthur, Woorndoo-mortlake sits undefeated on top of Mininera and District Football League ladder with Tatyoon sitting second and also yet to lose a game.

Tatyoon was the big story of the round last week when it put a stop to Great Western’s unbeaten run.

The Hawks were off to a slow start, failing to score in the first quarter while the Lions ran away and booted 5.2.

But Tatyoon managed to claw its way back in the second half to go into the main break with teams on 46 points apiece.

It was a tight game all the way through and it wasn’t until the last quarter that Tatyoon got on top and ran away with a two-goal win.

The Hawks will have no trouble making it six wins from six this week when they play the struggling Caramut.

The Swans copped another 20-goal loss last week, although they were able to register their biggest score of the season so far of 53, with Joshua Stapleton booting another four goals to take his tally to 12.

However, with Tatyoon being up and about and the likes of Steven Butler, James Shanhun, Jake Mccarthy, Sean Mcdougall, Ben Clay and David Brady all playing well, they will make short work of this week’s game.

Wickliffe-lake Bolac will travel to Mininera to play SMW Rovers after its first win last weekend.

The Magpies were not only able to get their first win but made a statement when they took care of Caramut by 20 goals.

Harley Hunter and Darren Cook did the most damage in front of goals, kicking 10 and seven goals respectively, while Charlie Vallence and

Taylor Hall were again in the best for the Magpies.

They will be keen to make it two wins on the trot.

SMW Rovers also had their first win for the season last week, over Penshurst.

The Bulldogs have shown glimmers of good football for a quarter or two throughout the first five games, but were able to string a bit more of a game together to get the win over the Bombers.

John Forbes, Alex Mcintyre and Jesse Sardo were the best players for the Bulldogs and will look to lead their team in hope of getting their second win.

In other games, Moyston-willaura plays Ararat Eagles, Lismore-derinallum hosts Penshurst, Glenthompson-dunkeld travels to Hawkesdale-macarthur and Great Western will have another big job on its hands when it plays Woorndoo-mortlake.
