Kinglake slip to third spot

■ Laurimar have returned to the top two on the Division 3 ladder at the expense of Kinglake, who they defeated by 48 points in an impressive display at Laurimar Reserve.

Grabbing the lead early and never being headed thereafter, the local fans were thrilled to see the Power produce some slick ball movement and classy teamwork in the 17.9 (111) to 9.9 (63) result.

“Very proud of the way we moved the ball, our spread and pressure were very good,” Laurimar coach Jimmy Atkins said.

Atkins noted that captain Mitch Thompson has had a good last month and that today was his best game for the year. Thompson was important in kicking two goals in the first term when the game was on the line and he regularly managed to get his hands on the ball in plenty of space.

Noah Mooney as a forward target and Aidan Clarke in the ruck were also things that pleased the coach, with both these players hitting the scoreboard.

Jacson Cecil kicked three majors, the most he has kicked in a match since mid-June, while Kaiden Arthur played forward and also registered three goals.
