Bombers blast Cats
EAST GIPPSLAND SCOREBOARD ROUND 10
Liam Durkin
SENIORS
THE second-half of the East Gippsland football season got underway last Saturday. Results from across the weekend ensured the competition ladder stayed incredibly tight. Three teams are still all on the same number of wins. The season therefore looks set to go very deep, and it could well reach a stage where no matches even in Rounds 17 or 18 are classified as ‘dead rubbers’. THEY have a knack of always making things interesting at Boisdale-Briagolong. Whether it is winning every game after Christmas to scrap into finals and then take out a cricket premiership, or in this case, rolling the second-top team by 44-points, the Bombers just find a way to regain attention when all hope seems lost. With only two wins to their name at the halfway mark of the season, Boisdale-Briagolong went into the break faced with a challenging task. Not totally out of finals contention, but still two wins away from the top four, the Bombers needed to take a scalp to catapult itself back into the picture. Boisdale-Briagolong did exactly that on the weekend, defeating Lindenow 19.15 (129) to 11.13 (79). The Bombers kicked five goals in the opening term to start full of running at home. From there it was more of the same, and the scoreboard showed a 43-point lead to the advantage of Boisdale-Briagolong as teams went into the sheds. Not one to rest on their laurels, the Bombers added another five goals in the third quarter, while the Cats managed just two. With the game beyond all reasonable doubt at the last change, Boisdale-Briagolong then took its total well past the 100 mark when the final siren sounded. A high-scoring final quarter gave spectators plenty of attacking football to be entertained by, as 12 goals were kicked all up. Lindenow ran the game out well, slamming home seven goals in the last quarter, but BoisdaleBriagolong could have perhaps been forgiven for leaking a few goals given how much both teams attacked in the final term. While some might look at the last quarter and say the Bombers took their foot off the pedal, they still kicked five goals. If you are only getting outscored by two goals in a quarter of football it is never too much cause for concern.

Cal Egan during game number 100 for Boisdale-Briagolong on Saturday. The Bombers gave Egan a milestone to remember, defeating Lindenow by 44 points. Photo: Contributed Cal Egan kicked three majors for the winners in his 100th match, and was well supported by Billy Marshall, Kel Porter, Rhys Johnson and Byron Sandeman. Matt Wilkinson provided a strong target inside 50, and finished the day with eight goals, taking his season total to 24. Best for Lindenow was Justin Gould, Josh Lando, Norm Barry, Todd Alexander, Cooper Shaw and Will Blackley. A familiar face lined up against Boisdale-Briagolong in Dylan Bolton. Bolton, captain of Boisdale-Briagolong Cricket Club last summer, was not the only prominent local cricketer playing on the day, with Rohan Blandford (formerly of Sale Cricket Club) also in the Cats colours. Having now defeated the top two teams in Wy Yung and Lindenow this season, Boisdale-Briagolong is sure to be more than a danger side to opponents for the rest of the 2022 campaign. STRATFORD lost a close game against Wy Yung. The travelling Swans took it right up to the ladder leaders, but fell short in a 12.7 (79) to 10.7 (67) finish. Hardly anything separated the combatants for most of the match, although a second quarter fade-out from Stratford proved telling. After an even first term, the Swans could not manage a goal in the second, during which time the Tigers added four. The result of this meant Stratford was playing catch-up for the rest of the game, and while it did its best to wrestle back the lead, it could not bridge the gap. Stratford added four goals of its own on the resumption of play after the long break, but three goals to Wy Yung in the same timeframe saw the Tigers maintain
a handy 11-point lead at three quarter time. This lead ended up being virtually the same when full-time was called, as both teams kicked two goals in the last. Despite the result, the Swans will take confidence knowing their best football is good enough to trouble the top side. Regan Tait was best on ground for the red and white. Others to play well were Ryan Thatcher, Jack Bacon, Ben Channing, Brad White and Tim Hawkins who kicked four goals. Tom Stephenson, Jock Overend, Daniel Perrin and Mitch Dewar got the nod as best players for Wy Yung. The result did not have overly drastic ramifications for Stratford, who are still fourth, in among a logjam of teams from third to sixth. IN other games, Lucknow was too strong for Paynesville. Playing away from home did not deter the Magpies, who led at every change to win 11.17 (83) to 4.8 (32). Chris Hammond was instrumental in the victory, as was Jack Saulle, Josh Carroll, Jesse Glassborow, Jackson Smith (four goals) and Dallas Smith. Best for Paynesville was James Farquhar, Jordan Dadswell, Scott Joustra, Caleb Marsh and David Ashworth. The win was an important one for Lucknow, who went two points clear of the Gulls on the ladder as a result. THE match between Lakes Entrance and Orbost-Snowy Rovers ended in unfortunate circumstances, after a severe injury in the first quarter led to the game being called off. With a much more important issue to deal with, the Seagulls and Blues split the points.
