IT wasn’t easy, but Mt Eliza managed to score a big comeback win over Frankston last weekend.

The Dolphins had a good first half, heading into the main break with a 19 point lead. Mt Eliza kicked 0.5 for the half.

A four goal third quarter put Mt Eliza back on track for victory. They closed the gap to a goal at the final break.

A goalless final quarter from the Dolphins doomed them to defeat. Mt Eliza completed the comeback and scored a two point win 5.10 (40) to 5.8 (38). The win was their first for the season.

Bella Enno was best on ground, scoring three goals for the winners.

At Jackson Reserve, Coburg Lions grinded out a hard fought win over Tyabb.

The Lions triumphed 7.3 (45) to 4.10 (34), taking them to fourth on the ladder.

The Yabbies were held scoreless in the first quarter, and struggled to recover from there.

Eastern Devils and St Kilda Sharks also played out a thriller on Sunday.

The contest was a see-sawing affair. The Sharks led by four at quarter time, but by three-quarter-time the Devils had a five point advantage.

The Eastern Devils held on to win 7.2 (44) to 5.10 (40). Shelley Beggs kicked three goals for the Devils.

Seaford had no trouble dispatching Mornington at Belvedere Reserve. The Tigers won by 109 points 19.9 (111) to 0.2 (2).

Erica Saabas booted six goals for Seaford. Dayna Smith contributed four.
