■ Alexandra Seniors and Reserves enjoyed healthy wins over Powelltown last Saturday (May 6), as Ray Steyger reports:

The Outer East League 2023 season Round 3 saw the Rebels host Yarra Junction for twogames of football and four games of netball.

A good crowd came along to enjoy the Club Sponsors Day, Past Players Day and Life Members Day

Awards: Shepparton Volkswagen – Mitchell Coutts, Ampol fuel card – Angus Smith, Alex Sportspower – Dylan Jack, Buxton Hotel – Beau Scott.

The Seniors also had a couple of changes but kicked into gear with eight goals to one in the first quarter, the game then tightening up into a tough contest but the Rebels were more efficient in front of goal, Alexandra 18.14 (122) to Yarra Junction 7.7 (49).

Netball Local Sport Hawks send message to Turtles

■ Heidelberg West remain undefeated in the 2023 NFNL Division 3 season after finishing as 18-point winners in their clash with Old Eltham Collegians at Heidelberg Park.

A run of five straight goals either side of half time broke the game open for the hosts, giving them a five-goal buffer early in the third term. From that point onwards, they never looked like losing in a game where the forecasted rain stayed away.

The local crowd was delighted when the team’s biggest test for the 2023 season was passed with flying colours, with the 14.8 (92) to 11.8 (74) win keeping the Hawks as one of only two unbeaten sides in the competition.

They’ve now also won their last three games against Old Eltham Collegians, attributing to three of the Turtles last nine defeats.

“It’s just another step in the right direction, but there are still lots of steps to take,” Heidelberg West coach Michael Missen said.

The Hawks had the game played in their front half and on their terms for the majority of the contest. They won most of the contested footy with inside midfielders such as Lachie Jones and Daniel Kelly having a massive impact on the contest.

But the most influential midfield player was Marcus Hill . He won the ball at the coalface and also managed to get on the scoreboard.

Jordon Bulman won plenty of ball for the Hawks and also kicked a major, while Nick Paton had another solid game. Small forward Alex Williamson was a livewire in attack and kicked three on the day.

The local crowd loved the pressure aspect of their team and the Turtles often struggled to get players into space.

After dominant starts to the season up forward, Old Eltham Collegians duo Matthew Williamson and Nicholas Milne finished with three majors and one major respectively.

Hawks coach Missen was pleased with the work done on the dangerous pair by Zac Tranter and Ben Kennan.

With the game in danger of slipping away, Williamson was thrown into the ruck in the third term and managed to get several hit-outs to advantage. But it wasn’t enough to break the control that Heidelberg West had around the ground.

Facing a five-goal deficit at the last change, Old Eltham Collegians coach Matt Sleeman urged his players to take risks and take the game on.

His players did just that and won the final term, but it was too little too late for Turtles fans.

“We’re disappointed with the loss, but happy we fought the game out,” Sleeman said.

“We now look forward to the next two challenges before the bye.”

The coach was happy with the work of Jeremy Murphy in the midfield as well as Tim Ellis, who took numerous intercept marks in defence and used the ball well.

Sebastian Francis-Perkins was another good contributor through the middle of the ground, while Jaedyn Kearney was solid in defence.

Ben Rowe finished off with two fourth quarter goals which both came as a result of excellent passes.

The first was a deft touch kick from Benjamin Cox. The second one came from 23rd player Max Hanlon.

Hanlon marked about 45 metres out and, rather than having a long shot at goal, fired a neat pass to Rowe who marked in space and then converted the easier shot.

Heidelberg West’s next month sees them face some competitive sides as they look to keep their place in the top four, while Old Eltham Collegians will hope for a better performance when they travel to Laurimar to take on the Power.

Yea golfers miss out

■ Yea Mens Pennant Team , after going through a four game season undefeated, lost the Pennant Final at Euroa GC on Sunday, 2-3 matches. Playing Eildon who they defeated in last year’s final, only Rick Wills and Tom White could secure wins on the day. Tom went through the whole season undefeated at number 5. It was a great effort by the boys to make the final again and all at the Club are all proud of them. Many thanks to Greg for Captaining the team and organising the boys. - Alan Pell

victory as Harvey signs off

■ North Heidelberg have snapped their three-game losing streak to produce their first win of the NFNL Division 1 season, with a brilliant 48-point victory over Macleod at Shelly Street Reserve.

In what marked an historic day for retiree Shane Harvey, the excitement in the atmosphere made for a match of second efforts and team collaboration, with the Bulldogs having all the motivation to complete a statement 15.10 (100) to 7.10 (52) victory. Harvey couldn’t have made his send off from football any better, leading all scorers with a five-goal game that cemented his legacy as an all-time great.

■ It didn’t take long for Heidelberg to return to the winners list in the NFFL Division 1 competition, getting past Greensborough at War Memorial Park to triumph by 22 points.

The Tigers had more scoring shots in all four quarters, with only inaccuracy preventing the reigning premiers from producing a greater result than the 8.15 (63) to 6.5 (41) final scoreline.

Sam Gilmore was brilliant once again in the ruck, the captain had many hit outs to advantage, giving his midfielders first use more often than not.

Jed Rule proved to be an arial threat for Heidelberg whenever the ball entered their forward 50, and was rewarded with two goals, while Sean Martin was a commanding presence in defence.

He was vocal and took multiple intercept marks for his side, vanquishing many of the attacking opportunities coming from Greensborough’s midfield.

The Boro’s Angus Sievers and Jack Johnston made life difficult for the Tigers. Their intercept marking and pressure heavily impacted Heidelberg’s efficiency on goal.

The first 30 seconds of the match was a clear indicator of how the game would unfold.

Gilmore would get a clean tap to advantage before the Tigers streamed forward, only to kick a behind. Benjamin Nikolovski scored the first goal of the game shortly after with a snap from 45 metres out in front.

The damp conditions made open play tricky, with a lot of contested ball and plenty of stoppages.

Heidelberg were winning possession, but Greensborough’s Austin Dillion kicked the next major of the game with a nice finish from 40 metres out.

The home side’s defensive efforts were especially highlighted in the opening term, with their pressure forcing Heidelberg’s forwards out into the pockets.

As a result, Greensborough built some mo-

mentum and were able to kick the next three goals to quickly establish a 13-point lead. Accuracy was a telling factor with the Boro converting more of their opportunities in the 4.1 to 1.6 quarter time scoreline.

The Tigers dominated in the second term. Again, they struggled early to convert their chances until Luke Bunker was hit up on the lead on the way to converting truly.

His goal ignited the visitors as a major soon after from James Amalfi put Heidelberg back in front.

Finding the goals was still a difficult task, as they kicked 2.5 for the term, but they were able to keep the Boro scoreless, ensuring they held the advantage at the main break.

The second half started off with some Luke Bunker brilliance, kicking a goal out of the contest for Heidelberg to push their four-point half time lead out further.

Jack Johnston was again prolific in defence but much of this was due to the sheer volume of ball coming inside his defensive 50.

Heidelberg then scored quick back-to-back goals, courtesy of Jed Rule and Kai Kearns, to bolster their lead. It was a telling period of the game where Greensborough’s defence looked vulnerable.

It was evident that the reigning premiers were handling the conditions better than their opponents and a 20-point lead at three quarter time looked to have the game very much in Heidelberg’s grasp.

The hosts tried to manufacture a comeback in the final term and thanks to excellent pressure by the Greensborough forwards, Thomas Phelan scored a terrific goal which brought the margin down to less than three straight kicks.

But that hope and optimism was extinguished by two more majors from the Tigers, all but putting the game out of reach for Greensborough

The Boro found a sixth major late in the afternoon, but Heidelberg would finish 22-point victors. - Hamish Phillips, NFNL

The rest of the Bulldogs outfit followed in excellent form, with standout performances from Jesse Tardio, Hamish Murphy and Joshua Hamilton, while Nicholas Matthews set the tone of the match early in defence.

Macleod were steered by skipper Lucas Hobbs, leading the charge for his side through pivotal clearance work that opened up many chances to hit the scoreboard.

Kurt Manuel and Reid Brandt proved to be a dangerous presence around the ball all day, with Darcy Barden helping to stop a plethora of inside 50’s that kept the Roos in the fight.

The day would start with the man of the hour himself, as Harvey lined up to boot the first two majors with Liam Nunan following suite by kicking his own goal to give the hosts an early three-goal lead.

Craig Hayes’ side would respond quickly with Haydon Manuel kicking true for a major, as Lucas Hobbs followed in similar fashion for a goal to reduce the lead to eight points.

The Bulldogs chemistry continued to be reflected on the scoreboard through the first half, highlighted by Tardio breaking through two tackles into a handball toward a running Mitchell Dillon for a major.

The scoring kept on coming from the Bulldogs as Majak Daw made his stamp on the game with two set shot goals, Kyle McDonald also kicked two second term majors that extended the lead to 43-points.

Momentum was all the Bulldogs way, with McDonald’s speed around the ground in tandem with Billy Hogan’s hard-nosed play at the ball, overwhelming the Macleod midfield.

The Roos were able to whether some of the storm from goals by Shane Doherty and Kurt Manuel, giving their side some life as they faced a 32-point deficit at the main break.

Dane Whitnall would be the one to open the second half with a goal, which would be quickly followed by an electric snap at goal from Harvey that pushed the margin out to 44-points.

The contest wasn’t out of reach yet, proven by the visitors’ Reid Brandt, who snapped the ball truly from 30-metres out.

However, Harvey had other plans. He would soon kick his fourth, while Daw would close out the quarter with his third major of the day for a 48-point North Heidelberg lead at three quarter time.

Both teams started to slow down in the final term, as Cooper Bugeja showed some speed to break the scoring drought with a runin goal to give the Bulldogs their biggest lead of the game.

Manuel would kick two majors for Macleod, but with time running down Harvey would have the last say in his final game, converting his set shot for goal number five for the afternoon and goal number 1053 for his career.

It would be a fitting end for the North Heidelberg champion, who had led his team to yet another victory, this being one that could get the Bulldogs’ 2023 season back on track.
