Eagles remain undefeated

Whittlesea remains undefeated in the Northern Football League division 2 competition after a solid performance against Lower Plenty on Saturday.

Nothing separated the sides in the first half, before the Eagles opened a 20 point lead heading into the final break after five goals in the third quarter.

The Eagles continued the momentum going into the final quarter and were able to run away with a 12.11 (83)-6.13 (49) win.

Lucas Hobbs kicked three goals and was named the Eagles best, continuing his strong start to the season.

It was a tougher day for Thomastown and Old Paradians, who are both without a win.

Thomastown fell short against Northcote Park in its match on Anzac Day.

The Bears led by four points at quarter time but only kicked two goals for the rest of the year as they lost, 8.11 (59)-5.9 (39).

Sean Culhane was the Bears best.

Old Paradians had a day to forget against Diamond Creek on Saturday.

It was all one way traffic with the Creekers winning, 18.19 (115)-1.3 (9). It took the Raiders until the second half to kick a goal.

In division 1, Bundoora and South Morang remain without a win after three matches.

For the Bulls, they weren’t able to go with West Preston-Lakeside in the final quarter of their clash.

The Bulls led by eight points heading into the final quarter, with the Roosters kicking four goals to no score to come from behind and claim the win, 10.8 (68)-13.9 (87).

The Lions on Saturday lost to Greensborough.

A 48-9 first quarter was the difference in the game with Greensborough winning, 14.9 (93)-7.13 (55).

Joshua Lansfield and Jesse John Christidis were named their best.

In division 2, Epping suffered a shock loss to Kinglake, Lalor lost to Reservoir and Laurimar beat Mernda.
