Mordialloc woke up after half time with three unanswered goals of their own in third to take a seven point lead into the last. The Bloods added the only behind in the last to hold on.

Tanya Rosenquist, Alesha Thorne and Nat Cardamone all kicked a goal each for Mordialloc and Steph Sandoval was their best.

On Saturday morning, Murrumbeena showed why they are one of the class sides of the competition in the game of the round with a 105 point win over Hallam at Murrumbeena Park.

Kicking with the breeze, Beena were sparked early by Danielle Wearne who kicked the first three goals of the game with one coming from inside the centre square.

Hallam got on the scoreboard in second quarter with two impressive goals, one for Stephanie Andersen and Kaitlyn Ligthart. They would only see the Lions margin extended from 47 points at quarter to 59 points.

The game was put beyond doubt in the third quarter with 5.4 to 0.1 in the third quarter.

Again, Murrumbeena were able to extend their lead in the last quarter with four goals to two to secure the victory. The best of the two Hallam’s final quarter goal came from Natalie Horua.

Beena’s best had a wide range of contributors, with Eliza Groves, Shanae Carter, Bridget Miller and Lauren Luff were everywhere. Danielle Wearne and Rebecca Niclasen were the dominant forwards on the ground with four goals each.

For Hallam; Natalie Horua, Michelle Thomas, Kaitlyn Ligthart and Stephanie Andersen were impressive and gave the Hawks a lot of chances in the forward 50 despite Beena’s dominance.
