Prelim awaits Hampden clubs
WARRNAMBOOL’S Reid Oval will again see big crowds this weekend as Hampden League enters its preliminary final round.
With South Warrnambool through to the grand final after defeating North last weekend, this Saturday will see the Eagles face Terang Mortlake.
Last weekend’s clash between North and South was a well-fought out one, with both sides applying strong defensive pressure and making the most of turnovers.
The Eagles went out firing in the opening quarter, kicking 3.2 to the Rooster’s two behinds but a second quarter surge by the top side saw the Roosters get back in the game and go into the main break with a handy 19-point lead.
Momentum continued for the Roosters in the second half, adding six goals to the scoreboard while containing the Eagles to two majors.
Final scores were South Warrnambool 12.10.82 to North Warrnambool 5.9.39.
Best for the Roosters were Daniel Nicholson, Ollie Bridgewater, Archie Stevens, Harry Lee, Ben Rantall and Max Irving.
Shannon Beks booted three for the victors, while Max Irving added two and Corey Gallichan, Sam Kelly, Jeremy Mugavin, Daniel Nicholson, Josh Saunders and Will White contributed one goal each.
For the Eagles, Dylan Parish kicked two and Thomas Batten, Jackson Grundy and Felix Jones contributed one each.
Best for the side were Jarryd Lewis, Jack Johnstone, Bailey Jenkinson, Jett Bermingham, Adam Wines and Luke Kenna.
This weekend’s reserves preliminary final will see Warrnambool take on the Cobden Bombers – with the winner to face South Warrnambool in the grand final.
The Blues earned a preliminary final spot after defeating Terang Mortlake by 19-points last weekend, 9.11.65 to 7.4.46.
Best for the Blues were Finn Radley, Steven Lampton, Jack Dowd, Lochie Worden, Cooper Hoffman and Jordan Foott. Goals went to Charlie Moncrieff, Tim Okeefe and McKenzie Royals (two each), Steven Lampton, Heath Morgan-Morris and Noah Turland.
Warrnambool’s under 18.5s have earned their spot in next week’s grand final after a win over South last weekend, while the Roosters will take on Hamilton in tomorrow’s preliminary final.
