Allansford form continues
ALLANSFORD continued its great form last weekend with a hard-earned 11 point win over Nirranda.
Playing in front of a home crowd, the second-placed Allansford handed Nirranda its third loss for season 2025.
The Cats had to work hard in the opening term to shake off the visitors, kicking 6.1 to 5.4 while a second quarter turn-around saw Nirranda send home 4.4 while restricting the home side to just two majors – going into the main break with a 13-point lead.
A fired-up Cats returned to the field for the third-quarter determined to put some valuable points on the board and sent home 5.4 while containing Nirranda to just three behinds for the term.
Final scores Allansford 15.7.95 to Nirranda 12.14.86.
Best for the victors were Patrick Drake, Benjamin Macfarlane, Bradley Bull, Zach Jamieson, Cooper Hoffman and Kade Gordon.
Charlie Grist sent home four goals for Allansford while team-mates Robbie Hare (3) and Rani Jamieson also contributed.
Best for Nirranda were Charley Donohue, John Paulin, Mathew Lloyd, Jack Primmer, Reagan Nutting and Toby Dalton.
Charley Donohue (3) and William Paulin (2) were leading goal kickers for the side.
Other round five winners were Kolora Noorat, Timboon, Merrivale and Russells Creek.
Round six tomorrow will see Kolora Noorat at home to Timboon, Dennington will host Panmure, Nirranda and South Rovers will meet; while Davidson Oval will see Old Collegians take on Allansford and Russells Creek will head to Merrivale to take on the Tigers.
