Blues in the finals mix

A WELL-earned 47 point win over Cobden has given Warrnambool a four point buffer over South on the Hampden League senior football ladder.

The Blues are currently holding on to fifth spot with just three home and away rounds remaining for season 2026.

Playing at the Cobden Recreation Reserve last Saturday, the visitors went out hard in the opening quarter, kicking four majors to two before extending their lead to 15 points by the main break.

The third quarter saw the Blues add three goals five to the board while containing the Bombers to 1.4 for the term.

And in the final term, the Blues came home strong, kicking a creditable five goals four while the Bombers were restricted to 2.3.

Best for the Blues in a solid team effort were Amon Radley, Jordan Walters, Reggie Mast, Taylem Wason, Harry Ryan and Riley Holloway.

Mast was the most effective in front of goals, kicking four for the day, while team-mates Xavier McCartney and Heath Morgan-Morris contributed two each.

In other round 15 matches last weekend, Koroit celebrated a narrow six-point win over Portland, the Roosters enjoyed a 29-point victory at home over Camperdown, while Port Fairy went down to the Eagles by 60 points and the Bloods accounted for Hamilton by 116 points.

This weekend will see Koroit host Cobden, Camperdown and Portland will meet at Leura Oval, the Blues and Port Fairy will clash at Reid and North Warrnambool will host the Bloods.

South Warrnambool will travel to Melville Oval to take on Hamilton.

In Hampden League Open netball action, wins went to Warrnambool, Koroit, South Warrnambool, Port Fairy and Terang Mortlake.

South Warrnambool continued to dominate and remain two games clear at the top of the ladder, followed by Koroit, Port Fairy and Cobden, with Warrnambool rounding out the top five.
