WINNERS

“THE” RESULT

Bell Park has moved into the box seat to claim fifth spot heading into the GFL finals after outlasting South Barwon by nine points at McDonald Reserve, 15.6 (96) to 13.9 (87). After leading by as much as 39 points late in the second quarter after six consecutive goals, the Dragons watched as the Swans whittled away the lead to eventually take the lead when Ollie Lee goaled at 22-minute mark. However, late majors from Jackson Sheringham and Kyle O’Connor helped Bell Park settle and claim its ninth win of the season. “The character shown by us to kick the last couple (of goals) and get over the line was really good – they were coming hard,” co-coach Shane Jack told K rock’s The Wash-Up.

DELANEY THE HERO FOR TIGERS

Cam Delaney has lived out every young footballer’s dream kicking a goal after the siren to give Grovedale a one-point win over St Albans at Burdoo Reserve. In his 51st senior game for the Tigers, the former North Melbourne and Geelong player, kicked truly from about 30m out amid jubilant scenes. It was Grovedale’s fifth win of the season, and second since the club revealed Simon Riddoch won’t be coaching the Tigers in 2020.

LUCKY 13 FOR JOSEPH

Connor Joseph has had a day to remember in Newtown & Chilwell’s 180-point hiding of Lara to Bisinella Oval. Joseph finished with 13 majors to take his season tally to 35 and past the 50-goal mark for the Eagles. He now sits third on the GFL goal kicking, which leads us to …

BOYD TIGHTENS UP GOAL KICKING RACE

Lucas Boyd has ensured the race for the GFL goal kicking title will go down to the wire with a seven-goal haul in Leopold’s 104-point hiding of Geelong West pulling him to within one major of South Barwon’s Andrew Boseley. Boyd moved to 45 majors, with Boseley – who kicked three goals in the Swans’ loss to Bell Park – on 46. No Leopold player has ever won the GFL goal kicking since the Lions entered the competition in 1992.

St Mary’s hasn’t been a happy stomping ground for us over the last few years, which makes today’s result even more sweeter. 65 point win in the end. Also our A Grade girls had an awesome 9 goal win. Well done girls 🐯
