MEN’S DIV ONE

DROMANA picked up a hugely important win on Saturday at home against Edithvale-Aspendale.

Dromana were the better side from the get-go. A five-goals-to-one first term put the Tigers in the box seat.

Edithvale-Aspendale chipped the lead back to 15 by half-time, but Dromana sealed the outcome with a big third quarter. Dromana beat Edithvale-Aspendale 17.15 (117) to 11.9 (75).

Reece Wilde, Sam Geurts, Billy Quigley, Billy Geurts, and Clayton Gay were Dromana’s best. Nathan Higgins and Ben Tovey booted three goals each.

The result leaves Dromana fifth on the ladder with 32 points. Sorrento, Pines, and Langwarrin are hot on their trail with 28 points each.

Sorrento kept their finals hopes alive with a hard-fought win over Mornington at David Macfarlane Reserve.

The Sharks led by two goals at the first break. The lead was cut down to three points heading into half-time.

The third quarter was neck-and-neck, with Mornington going narrowly ahead. Sorrento managed to hold the Bulldogs to just one goal in the final term to clinch a gritty 12.6 (78) to 10.10 (70) win.

James Hallahan was the difference-maker, kicking seven goals in a best-on-ground showing.

Pines and Langwarrin succumbed to defeats against Frankston YCW and Rosebud respectively. Mt Eliza closed out the round with a 39-point win over last-placed Red Hill.


MEN’S DIV TWO

CRIB Point handed Frankston Bombers their first defeat of the season on Saturday in a monumental upset.

The Bombers entered the match at Baxter Park 15-0 in 2025. They have looked unbeatable, and were a good chance to finish the season with a perfect record.

The Magpies were up for the fight on Saturday. Crib Point went into the first break down by five points but still in the hunt.

The Bombers led at each break of play, but couldn’t put the Magpies away. Heading into the final quarter, Frankston Bombers led by 10 points.

Crib Point saved their best for last, closing out the match with a three-goals-to-one final term. Two late goals saw Crib Point sneak ahead, and they held on for a famous one-point victory.

Crib Point beat the ladder leaders 7.8 (50) to 7.9 (51). Joel Sarlo was the Magpies’ best – he kicked three goals.

With just two games left in the season, Crib Point sits fourth on the ladder with 11 wins. They are behind Chelsea on percentage – the Seagulls maintained their position with a 50-point victory over Karingal.

Devon Meadows and Somerville sit fifth and sixth respectively with 10 wins each. Devon Meadows beat Seaford by five points at Glover Reserve last weekend, and Somerville beat Tyabb by 18 points at Bunguyan Reserve.

Bonbeach finished the round in seventh, two wins behind the top six, after a two-goal victory against Hastings.

Pearcedale had a great day at RJ Rowley Reserve on Saturday, beating Rye by 103 points. Brett Eddy was unstoppable, kicking 10 goals.


WOMEN’S DIV ONE

MORNINGTON has booked their ticket to the Grand Final with a thrilling win over Warragul Industrials.

Mornington and Warragul have been the two teams to beat in Division One this season. On Sunday they each traveled to John Coburn Oval looking to claim their spot in the season decider.

The Bulldogs were the better side early, heading into the first break ahead by a goal. Warragul staged a late fightback, but Mornington proved too strong.

The game went down to the wire, but the Bulldogs held on to win 4.3 (27) to 3.4 (22).

Mornington’s best were Stella Rogers, Elizabeth Muir, Kim Ebb, Lucy Grocock, and Imani Francis.

Warragul will get a chance at redemption on Saturday when they tackle Karingal. The Bulls earned their place in the prelim with a hard-fought win over Frankston.

Karingal and Frankston looked evenly matched, with just one point separating them at half-time. The Bulls charged home in the second half to claim a 12-point win 6.6 (42) to 4.6 (30).

Taliah Black was awesome for the Bulls – she kicked three goals in a best-on-ground performance.

Karingal plays Warragul at 3pm this Saturday at Bunguyan Reserve in Tyabb, with the winner advancing to the Grand Final.
