Roosters dominance continues
ALMOST mid-way through season 2024, South Warrnambool continues to dominate, sitting undefeated on top of the Hampden League ladder.
The Roosters remain the benchmark of the competition and sit two games clear of North Warrnambool Eagles in second and Koroit Saints in third.
Rounding out the top five heading into this weekend’s ninth round are Warrnambool and Terang Mortlake.
The Roosters latest victory came at the expense of Port Fairy last weekend.
Playing at Friendlies Society Park, South dominated all over the ground, winning by 88 points – 18.11.119 to 4.7.31.
Sam Kelly, Shannon Beks, Daniel Nicholson, Myles McClugage, Harry Lee and Walker Owen were among the best for the victors while for the Seagulls, Joseph Nelson Hill, Isaac Martin, Jake Bartlett, Oscar Pollock, Matthew Sully and Lochie Gunning were effective.
In other round eight Hampden League games, Camperdown notched up its third win of the season when it defeated Portland, Warrnambool accounted for Terang Mortlake by 28 points, Koroit defeated Hamilton by six points and the Eagles enjoyed a close win over Cobden.
While the Warrnambool District League will enjoy a bye round this weekend, Hampden will enter round nine of its 2024 season.
Reid Oval will host the Blues against Hamilton, North Warrnambool will host Camperdown, Port Fairy will be at home to the Saints, the Roosters will head to Hanlon Park to take on Portland while Cobden will host Terang Mortlake.
