Lakers big loss

Caroline Springs proved no match for Werribee Districts in the Western Region Football League division 1 competition,

In a rematch of last season’s preliminary final, the match produced a similar result with the Tigers running away for a big win.

On this occasion, the Tigers took control of the game early but weren’t able to make the most of their opportunities in front of goal.

That changed in the second quarter, when the Tigers kicked 6.2 to the Lakers 2.1 to open up a 37 point lead at the main break.

The Tigers continued to extend the lead in the third quarter, with game over at the last break with the margin 52 points.

The final quarter was all the Tigers, as they ran away to an 18.14 (122)-7.10 (52) win.

Cooper Pepi and Ryan Allan kicked two goals each for the Lakers.

Allan was named their best alongside ruck Liam Read.

The loss has the Lakers in fourth spot with a 3-4 ruck after every team had played each other once.

Point Cook, Altona and Yarraville-Seddon Eagles were the other winners.

The Lakers this week face the Point Cook Centrals.

In the women’s division 1 competition, the Lakers returned to the winners list after three straight losses.

It was a dominant display against the Point Cook Centrals with the Lakers winning 9.11 (65)-0.2 (2).

The Lakers sit in third spot.
