Barwon Heads vs Anglesea

The Seagulls are still flying high with Nathan Brown proving to be unstoppable kicking seven goals for Barwon Heads. The Seagulls hit Anglesea hard early, and the Kangaroos couldn’t find their way back into the match.

Anglesea has had some tough opposition in recent weeks, coming off losses to some serious contenders for the flag. Ocean Grove is their next stop, and the Kangaroos will be eager to regain some momentum for the rest of the season. The Seagulls on the other hand, will have a test against Torquay.

Final Score

Barwon Heads: 29.6 (180)

Anglesea: 12.6 (78)

Drysdale vs Queenscliff

The contribution around the ground from Drysdale is the reason they are playing so dominantly. They come out from the opening bounce with pace, and their opposition struggles to play the game of ‘catch me if you can’.

Queenscliff lies just outside the top five, with finals approaching they will need to tackle some contenders if they are to make it to the big dance. Defeating Modewarre this weekend would be the perfect start. It would be even more perfect for them if Drysdale defeats Geelong Amateur.

Final Score

Drysdale: 18.21 (129)

Queenscliff: 7.10 (52)

Modewarre vs Geelong Amateur

Modewarre are starting to click at the right time. Tom Hornsey proved to be the difference last week with five goals to finish his day. Geelong Amateur takes a back step, and are now in danger of being knocked out of the top five.

It will take a determination, hard work, and sheer will, for the Ammos if they are a chance against Drysdale. The Warriors will face another contender for the top five in Queenscliff. The next seven rounds have turned into a race.

Best

Modewarre: M. Fenton, Z. May, M. Kasparian, J. Finch, T. Hornsey, C. Joseph

Geelong Amateur: M. Thacker, N. Kelly, S. Darley, E. Farley, S. Hosking, M. Hungerford

Final Score

Modewarre: 20.8 (128)

Geelong Amateur: 11.6 (72)

Torquay vs Portarlington

Torquay have responded to every question that critics ask of a real finalist team save one loss. Now it’s time for Barwon Heads to answer the question this weekend. Can the Seagulls knock off one of the BFL titans before finals and prove they are a chance for the flag?

The Tigers are only ahead by one win on the ladder from the Seagulls, and if the Tigers were to lose, it wouldn’t affect their second spot. This is all about early bragging rights. The Tigers were the Seagulls better in their last encounter. Let’s see if Barwon Heads has learned something from that defeat.

Portarlington will face Newcomb at PlasterCom Oval.

Portarlington: Lachlan Hart

Final Score

Torquay: 36.24 (240)

Portarlington: 1.3 (9)

Newcomb vs Ocean Grove

As to be expected, a very tight contest. Newcomb got the better of Ocean Grove in the third term but failed to hold off the Grubbers in the fourth. Power is definitely showing more effort in the past few weeks despite their current streak of losses.

That streak is likely to end when they face the Demons this weekend. The Grubbers will meet Anglesea at Ray Menzies Oval. The Kangaroos are in a bit of a rut lately with Ocean Grove looking like the early favourites this weekend.

Ocean Grove: K. Annand, R. Hobbs, T. Chalkley, F. Keck, H. Pearce, J. McHenr

Ocean Grove: 3 T. Chalkley, 2 F. Long, 2 J. Paterson, E. Dayman

Final Score

Newcomb: 8.7 (55)

Ocean Grove: 8.14 (62)
