SOMERVILLE bounced back and earned another crack at Nepean League premiership favourites Sorrento this weekend, with a comprehensive 76-point preliminary final belting of Red Hill.
After a 20-minute delay to the game while a large hole at one end of the Rye Reserve was repaired, the Eagles started like a shot with the assistance of a steady breeze to lead by five goals at the first change.
That set the pattern for the day and they were never threatened.
Matt Maltman starred with four goals for the victors, while classy young wingman Josh Collie was best afield.
Mount Eliza made a mess of Chelsea in the Peninsula League first semi final, keeping the Seagulls to only two goals and winning a one-sided first semi final by 77 points.
Chelsea was a spent force almost from the first bounce and Redleg playmakers including coach Dave Willett and key forward Grant Masterson took full advantage to produce blinders.
Frankston YCW battled hard in the first half but cruised home after the main break to overcome Seaford by 39 points in the second semi-final on Sunday.
Ex Frankston Dolphins big man Ashley Eames was best afield for the Stonecats, while Lew Roberts was a good target in attack with two goals in a low-scoring game.
