Cobras, Devils remain undefeated

Bacchus Marsh and Darley came away with big wins for a third straight week in the Ballarat Football League women’s competition.

The cross town rivals are the early pacesetters in the competition, with both teams undefeated after three rounds.

The Cobras were at home on Sunday against Lake Wendouree.

Bacchus Marsh scored a couple of early goals before being able to extend the margin the next two quarters.

The side saved its best for the final quarter with five goals, to come away with a 13.15 (93)-0.0 (0) win.

Isabella Farella and Jacinta Reid kicked three goals each for the Cobras.

Melanie Freeman and Chloe Walker were named their best.

The Devils continued on their good start with a 70 point against East Point also on Sunday.

The Devils travelled up to Ballarat to take on the Kangaroos.

They were able to score consistently across all four quarters to come away with a 12.12 (84)-2.2 (14) win.

Kim Bessell and Madalyn Clarke both kicked three goals. Lilli Condon made it three straight best on ground performances.

Charlotte Hill and Jenna Burke were other standouts.

This week, Bacchus Marsh faces its biggest challenge so far, Redan, while Darley is at home to Carisbrook.

Meanwhile, Darley’s Charlie Parsons-Jones is part of the under-16 Victoria Country squad that is competing at the national championships currently.
