EDFL: Tullamarine’s late blitz chops down Oakers

A six-goal burst in the final quarter ensured Tullamarine remained unbeaten in division 1 on Saturday.

After three tightly contested three quarters against Oak Park, Tullamarine led by two points after being ahead by 16 at quarter-time and trailing by seven at half-time.

But Tullamarine dominated the final term, booting six goals to one to win 15.12 (102) to 10.8 (68). Michael Egan and Sean Doyle both kicked three.

Westmeadows bounced back from an opening round loss with a gigantic 123-point hammering of Craigieburn.

The first half was relatively even, Westmeadows leading by eight points at quarter-time and 19 at half-time, thanks to some inaccurate kicking.

But they slammed home 10 goals to one in the third to take a 75-point lead and completely kill off the contest.

Another eight in the final term sealed a percentage-boosting 23.18 (156) to 4.11 (35) win, with Ibrahim Atik and Robert Mullen both kicking five.

Poor kicking for goal cost Glenroy a chance of victory against Taylors Lakes.

Glenroy’s half-time score was a miserable 1.13 and they went on to lose 8.18 (66) to 4.17 (41).
