Kinglake 1.5 (11) defeated by Mt Evelyn 20.12 (132) at Olinda Ferny-Creek
With the senior footballers and netballers having a bye last weekend, it was only the Under 18’s footballers and Under 17’s netball sides that played last weekend.
The Lakers could only manage to kick one goal in the opening term. Despite further efforts, Kinglake could not manage another goal all day, despite having six more scoring opportunities. This allowed Mt Evelyn to run away with the game.
Kinglake’s Under 17’s netball side was also beaten in the weekend’s under-age netball match against Wandin, held at Healesville.
Next week, Kinglake play Thornton-Eildon at Kinglake in a must-win game by a significant margin.
With all top four sides now on 40 premiership points, (in ladder order) Yarra Glen (145.11%), Kinglake (125.30%), Gembrook-Cockatoo (123.40%) and Alexandra (112.43%) all now equal first on the ladder, it is shaping a tight contest for the top two ladder positions as we reach the business end of season 2016.
Yea and Seville sit just two games outside the top four, on 32 points, with both teams still a chance of making this year’s finals, depending on results and byes.
