CHFL: Ballan, Gordon beaten in opening round

07/04/2014

By Star Weekly

Ballan began its Central Highlands Football League season with a narrow 14-point loss to Daylesford on Saturday.

Ballan’s poor first half cost it a shot at victory.

Zach Peoples’ eight goals weren’t enough as Daylesford won 16.14 (110) to 14.12 (96).

Gordon got its CHFL season off to the worst possible start, going down by a resounding 76 points to Bungaree in the opening round.

Seven goals to two in the opening term opened up an early lead for visiting Bungaree, while eight final-quarter goals to the victors turned a good win into a comfortable one.

Steven Nicholson kicked four goals for the vanquished, but in the end the 20.28 (148) to 11.6 (72) scoreline reflected the gap between the teams.
