Boro triumphs in Bulls battle

■ Greensborough were able to hold their nerve throughout their NFNL Division 1 battle with Bundoora, eventually winning by 11 points at Yulong Reserve

A low-scoring, high-intensity clash between fourth and fifth on the ladder saw the Boro maintain composure against a late surge from the Bulls, finishing with a 7.9 (51) to 5.10 (40) victory.

Jamie Smith dominated in the ruck for Greensborough, while Daniel Ferronato and Thomas Phelan kicked two goals each, the only multiple goal scorers for the visitors.

Skipper Jack Johnston was a key player again in the defensive half, his intercept marking and determination to win every contest was enormous in the triumph.

Michael Ryan’s side enjoyed Joseph Palazzolo’s return, with Jesse King and Peter McEvoy also impressive contributors in the forward half.

The Bulls have now lost three straight games, all three against top five sides from the 2022 season and slip to sixth on the ladder as a result. Meanwhile Greensborough move to 4-2 and into third position, just one game behind ladder leaders Heidelberg
