One-sided games across Mininera
The majority of games in round two of Mininera and District Football League were very one-sided.
Undefeated teams Lismore-derrinallum, Tatyoon and Ararat Eagles have large percentages early in the competition.
Ararat Eagles will travel down the highway in round three to play neighbour Great Western.
The Eagles were too strong across the ground for SMW Rovers at the weekend and held the opposition to only four goals, showing their strength in not allowing the opposition to move the ball forward.
The scoreboard could have been even worse for the Bulldogs had the Eagles converted some of their 17 points into goals.
Of the seven goal-scorers, Tom Taurau kicked four and the club would be impressed by the efforts of players named in the best – Ben Robertson, Zachary Jenkins, Jaydo Wright, Fred Stokes, Jackson Taurau and Damian Joiner.
Great Western, on the other hand, is coming off a large 29-goal defeat at the hands of Tatyoon. Renn Lovitt, Thomas Cairns, Samuel Cocks, Adam Mullane and Ashley Leggety all put in solid performances in what would have been a long day for them. They will be looking to turn things around and have a hard-hit out against the Eagles.
Wickliffe-lake Bolac went down to
Glenthompson-dunkeld by four goals last week, but with several injuries before half time they did not let the score blow out.
The seven goals scored were shared between six different players, showing depth in the forward line. This was backed up by solid games from players such as Lewis Brice, Thomas Gibson, Charles Vallance and Samuel Handley.
The Magpies will host Moyston-willaura at Lake Bolac on Saturday, who were convincingly defeated by Lismore-derrinallum in round two by 255 points.
Moyston-willaura only managed one goal for the game, which came in the fourth quarter.
The side has lost a few players from last season, so it will learn and develop from these games and hopefully a win will be just around the corner.
Samuel Pilgrim, Patrick Frawley, Joshua Byron, Jackson Hyland and Benjamin Skubnik were named the better players on the day.
In other games, Caramut will host Lismore-derrinallum and will hope to stop Michael Lockyer and Riley Browne, who both kicked 11 goals in round two, Glenthompson-dunkeld has another home game hosting Hawkesdale-macarthur, Tatyoon and Penshurst should be a strong game with both coming off solid wins last week, and SMW Rovers will be hoping for some home-ground advantage when they play Woorndoo-mortlake.
