Tigers take the win
MERRIVALE now sits a game clear of Allansford on top of the Warrnambool and District League senior football ladder thanks to a 30-point win over the Cats last weekend.
Last Saturday’s top-of-the-table clash lived up to its pre-game hype, with both sides eager to assert dominance all over the Merrivale ground.
The visitors were quick out of the blocks, booting 4.4 in the opening term while containing the home side to 3.2.
The second quarter saw the Tigers bounce back and after dominating on the scoreboard, went in to the main break with a handy 10-point lead.
This was extended to 28 points by three-quarter time and after a relatively even final term, the Tigers took the win, 17.8.110 to 12.8.80.
Best for the victors were Sam Gleeson, Manny Sandow, Jalen Porer, Jack Johnstone, Joseph Lenehan and Wilson Lenehan.
