Seven goals from Vinnie Caia was in a losing cause for Warragul’s under 18s.
Trailing by just four points at the final change, the Gulls fell away in the final term as Sale booted five goals to one to win 14-7 (91) to 9-8 (62).

McLean, Jasper Alger and Joseph Curtis also helped keep the Gulls in the contest.
