Life beyond the Burra

By JARROD POTTER

SFL – DIVISION 2
SHOWING there’s life yet in Division 2 beyond the top two, Keysborough was undone by Murrumbeena as the home side sent the Burra packing with an eight-point defeat. In a class back-and-forth game, neither side could claim the upper hand. Hard fought through the dying minutes, Murrumbeena managed to kick a crucial last-term goal to stave off the Burra attack and take the 13.11 (89) to 12.9 (81) triumph. Tyson King (5 goals) was exceptional up forward while Will Gayfer, Tim Bacic and Geoff Humphreys all won their positions to feature in the best.
Doveton Eagles were also beaten, brushed aside by Caulfield in a 60-point loss.
DIVISION 3
Endeavour Hills did enough to brush aside a gallant Dandenong in a 27-point win. Shane Peake (6 goals) and Chris Arnold (4 goals) were prolific for their respective sides while Neil Peake and Jake Van Hoesel were best afield for the Falcons. Hallam took it up to last year’s grand finalists Mt Waverley in a 22-point loss as Andrew Daly and Shaun Gaitley battled all day for the Hawks.
VWFL – DIVISION 1 AND 3
Cranbourne and Endeavour Hills continued their high-flying seasons with the Eagles snaring a whopping 149-point win over Diamond Creek while the Falcons had to work a bit hard to undo Seaford in a 33-point victory.
Led by Kirsten Mcleod (6 goals) and Hayley Wildes (3 goals) Cranbourne booted 22.18 (150) to a solitary behind. Jessica Daoud also featured in the best with Brianna Phelps and Cat Robinson.
Endeavour Hills burst open the match in the second and third term, booting away via Siona Pilkington while Sarah Beattie and Georgia Punton excelled.
