Devils lock in coaches

Darley has locked in both its football and netball coaches for next year’s Ballarat Football Netball League season.

The Devils announced last week that Dan Jordan and Shannon Blackman had been re-appointed as the senior men’s football and netball coaches respectively.

It will be Jordan’s fourth season in charge at the Devils while Blackman will continue into a second season after taking over this year.

Both sides find themselves in good positions after nine rounds of this season.

The Devils sit atop the ladder in the senior football.

On Saturday, they had a convincing win against East Point, 20.7 (127)-10.13 (73).

After leading by just two points at quarter time, the Devils kicked eight goals to none in the second quarter to blow the game open.

The Kangaroos reduced the margin in the third quarter before the Devils finished strongly to come away with the win.

Will Johnson kicked four goals for the Devils with Brett Bewley continuing his good form in a best on ground performance.

In the netball, the Devils sit in second spot behind the undefeated Sunbury Lions.

On Saturday, the Devils put out a strong performance to account for East Point.

The Devils led by nine goals at quarter time and it was a sign of things to come as they won every quarter on the way to a 56-32 win.

Olivia Cawthray put on 35 goals for the Devils, while Monique Nagle shot 21 goals.

The Devils face the Sunbury Lions this Saturday.
