NFL: Bundoora charges to victory

By HELEN GRIMAUX; hgrimaux@mmpgroup.com.au

BUNDOORA rallied from 34 points down to beat Northcote Park and
secure a double finals chance in Northern Football League division 1 on
Saturday.

The Bulls set up a qualifying final against Heidelberg with the 20.14 (134) to 14.9 (93) victory.

PICTURE GALLERY:  Bundoora v Northcote Park

Northcote Park led 49-15 in the early stages of the second term only for Bundoora to rally to within two points at half-time.

Gary Moorcroft (seven goals) and Cameron Cloke (five) then
spearheaded Bundoora’s charge to the lead at the last change before six
goals to two in the final quarter put the result beyond doubt.

Elsewhere, minor premier Montmorency thrashed Lower Plenty by 78 points and Heidelberg beat Eltham by 63.

Montmorency (15-3) will enjoy a day off on Saturday, while
Bundoora (13-5) plays Heidelberg (13-5) in the qualifying final and
Northcote Park (12-6) meets Eltham (8-10) in the elimination final.
