DIVISION TWO

A HUGE eleven goal haul from Jackson Calder was the highlight of the day at Alexandra Park on Saturday. Calder’s Mornington thrashed Crib Point.

Crib Point couldn’t get close to Mornington. The Bulldogs scored freely, putting 24 goals on the scoreboard throughout the day.

Of their 24 goals, 11 came off the boot of Jackson Calder. The star forward hasn’t been at his best in the last couple of games, but put on a show on Saturday to remind everyone what he is capable of. He has now booted 42 goals in eight games this season.

Mornington ended up defeating Crib Point 24.15 (158) to 9.10 (64).

Chelsea also had a day out on the weekend, defeating Tyabb by 119 points.

Jack Francis was Chelsea’s best, kicking nine majors. Curtis Bywater also contributed seven goals to the scoreboard. Chelsea won 5.13 (43) to 25.12 (162).

Somerville also scored an impressive win on the weekend, defeating Devon Meadows.

Both sides came into the contest in a decent position on the ladder, but Somerville were the more impressive outfit on the day.

The Panthers struggled to keep up. Lachlan Williams, Thomas Roberts, and Andrew Fergusson led from the front in best on ground performances.

Somerville secured the points with an 18.13 (121) to 10.6 (66) win.

Karingal had a bad day at home as they played host to Seaford.

The Tigers were terrific. They restricted the Bulls to just one first half goal, squashing their hopes of a victory.

Seaford triumphed with a well-deserved 7.9 (51) to 13.14 (92) win.

Around the grounds, Hastings and Langwarrin also claimed wins. The Blues were inaccurate but still won 9.9 (63) to 12.24 (96). Langwarrin kept up their excellent start to 2021 by defeating Rye 14.15 (99) to 6.5 (41).
