DIVISION ONE
SORRENTO have bounced back from a crushing loss to take the points from Rosebud.
The Sharks were looking to rebound on Saturday after a 122-point drubbing at the hands of Dromana the weekend prior. Rosebud suffered a 126-point loss of their own that day, meaning both sides had a lot to prove.
Sorrento and Rosebud played at Olympic Park on Saturday. After a tight opening half, Rosebud went into the main break ahead by eight points.
An eight-goal third term put Sorrento in the box seat. They turned an eight point deficit into a 26 point lead heading into the final quarter.
Sorrento stretched their lead in the final term, going on to claim a comfortable 39 point win. The final scoreboard read Rosebud 9.15 (69) to Sorrento 16.12 (108).
The other match of the weekend saw ladder leaders Dromana travel to take on Red Hill on Sunday.
The Tigers were looking to secure their tenth consecutive win for the season. They established a comfortable 22 point lead in the second quarter, then never let the Hillmen get back in the game.
Dromana kept the pressure on in the second half. They ended up defeating Red Hill 11.7 (73) to 18.15 (123).
Riley Davis booted four goals for the 10-0 Tigers. Terry Wheeler, Billy Quigley, and Reece Wilde also impressed.
The rest of the round will be played this weekend.
