Somerville picked up a vital win over Devon Meadows on Saturday afternoon. Both sides came into the match at Glover Reserve in the mix for finals spots.
Somerville struck the first blow and went into the quarter-time break ahead by a goal. Devon Meadows held Somerville goalless in the second term, opening up a three-goal lead. Somerville whittled the lead back but still needed to close a 16-point gap in the last quarter.
Somerville mounted an impressive comeback in the closing stages. Devon Meadows failed to kick a goal in the final term, which handed Somerville an opportunity to regain momentum. Somerville raced home to a come-from-behind seven-point win – 10.10 (70) to 11.11 (77).
Mitch Mantell, Lachlan Haskett, Lachlan Gill-Renouf, Oliver Heavey, and Thomas Roberts were named Somerville’s best.
