Around the grounds in Hume and Whittlesea

Northern FL

Mernda had a convincing win in a twilight match against Laurimar in the Northern Football League women’s division 3 competition on Saturday. Following on from the men’s matches between the two sides, the women’s match proved to be a one-sided affair. The Demons took control early and that continued throughout in the 9.20 (74)-0.0 (0). Teneisha

Fiore and Gulia Ceravolo were the Demons best. For the Power, Rachel Chettle and Stephanie Crook were their best. The Demons have won both their matches so far, while the Power is without a win.

Big V

Hume City Broncos remain undefeated in the Big V men’s state championship competition. On Saturday night, the Broncos did the damage early against the Blackburn Vikings, leading by 11 points at quarter time and 19 at the main break. That lead extended out to 33 at the last break. While the Vikings won the last quarter, it was too late, with the Broncos winning 99-76. Troyce Manassa top scored with 30 points.

Big V

The Whittlesea Pacers continued their strong form in the Big V men’s division 2 competition on Saturday night. Undefeated so far, the Pacers faced the Maccabi Warriors on Saturday. The Pacers jumped out of the blocks, to lead by 14 points at quarter time. It was a sign of things to come with the Pacers winning every quarter on the way to an 107-60 win. Gabe Evans and Max Stojanovic top scored with 20 points a piece.

EDFL

Westmeadows bounced back from a disappointing round one with a solid win against Maribyrnong Park on Saturday in Essendon District Football League women’s premier division. The Lions led for the first three quarters, before the Tigers kicked four goals to nil in the final quarter to get the 6.9 (45)-3.5 (23) win. Andrea Gobbo was named the Tigers best. In division 1, Greenvale beat the Sunbury Kangaroos, while Tullamarine lost to Essendon Doutta Stars.
