It was a big day for the Western Rams on Saturday in the Riddell District Football League.
The club had its big freeze fundraiser for Motor Neurone Disease with plenty of fun as they raised much needed funds.
Footballers, netballers, coaches and committee members were among the sliders on the day.
On field, it wasn’t the day they were after, as they were easily accounted for by Romsey.
The Redbacks led by 51 points at half time, but the margin could have been a lot larger had they kicked straight.
The Rams would fail to score a goal in the 18.23 (131)-0.6 (6) loss.
Michael Oddie and Ashley Gray were named the Rams best. For the Redbacks, Dean Walsh kicked eight goals in a best on ground performance.
In other results, Melton Centrals stuck with Macedon for a half before the Cats showed enough to get the win.
The Cats started well, before Centrals reduced the margin to just seven points at the main break.
The Cats kicked four goals to one in the third quarter to open up a 28 point lead. It would be a match winning lead, with the Cats doing enough to win 13.8 (86)-8.4 (52) despite losing the last quarter.
Jason Cooke kicked seven goals for the Cats while Toby Sims was named the best. For Centrals, Jarryd Underwood kicked three goals.
Jarrod Spry was named their best.
Riddell cemented its spot in the top two with victory against Wallan. Sitting second and third, the match was the one of the round.
The Bombers took control of the match in the second quarter and led by 31 points at half time. It was an even second half, with the Bombers winning 14.6 (90)-9.10 (64).
Tim Walsh kicked six goals for the Bombers, while Riley Paterson was named best on ground.
Corey Viani was named the Magpies best.
The Bombers, who sit second, are now six points clear of Wallan and only percentage behind Diggers Rest.
In the other match, Woodend-Hesket did its finals hopes no harm with a 17.7 (109)-3.6 (24) win against Lancefield.
The Hawks controlled the game from start to finish with Courtney Johns kicking four goals for the Hawks.
Dean Bramley and Tobi Duff-Tytler were named the Hawks best.
For the Tigers, Alexander Simpson and Reuben Schembri were named their best.
Ladder leaders Diggers Rest had the bye.
