It’s season over for Diggers Rest in the senior football and Melton Centrals in the A-grade netball in the Riddell District Football Netball League.
Both sides were in action in knockout semi finals on Sunday.
The Burras entered their semi final with Macedon keen to bounce back after a tough second half the week before against Wallan.
Like the first final, the Burras started well and led by 13 points at half time.
After half time it was all the Cats, who kicked eight goals to none to run away with a 14.7 (91)-8.10 (58) win.
Jaidyn Caruana and Brodie Meyers kicked two goals each for the Burras.
Campbell Wearne, Shaun Campbell and Ben McMahon were named their best.
The loss signals the end of Jamie Lobb’s time as coach for the Burras.
On the netball courts, Melton Centrals weren’t able to repeat the performance from the week before against Riddell.
The Bombers jumped out of the blocks and led by 10 goals at quarter and 19 at half time.
The second half was closer, but the damage had been done with the Bombers winning, 56-32.
Centrals Randy Pereira said there were no excuses for the loss.
“The girls were completely outplayed by Riddell,” he said. “They caught us on the hop and they wouldn’t let us back into the game.”
Helen Aumua shot 13 goals for Centrals. Elisa Butterworth-Gonebale and Maddi Stewart were named their best.
Centrals under-19s were also knocked out on Sunday.
