Warrack Eagles outplay Dimboola
Dimboola were no match for Warrack, 2.4 (16) to 27.18 (180) at Dimboola Recreation Reserve on Saturday.
Dimboola's only majors came in the second and fourth quarters, while the Eagles kept the score ticking over with four goals in the first quarter, seven in the second, five in the third and 11 in the final term.
Coach of the Eagles, Kyle George, was a happy man after the big win.
"It was an awesome win, one we needed," he admitted.
When asked how long it had been since the Eagles recorded such a dominant victory, he said it had been years.
"The boys are exhausted, but it was great to get a win," George said.
"We played four quarters, something we haven't done well this year, and we got stronger as the game went on."
It would have been easy for the Eagles players to take their foot off the pedal, given the lead heading into the last quarter, but they added another 11 goals to the tally, and the coach said to see that continued effort was "unreal".
Moore and Jackson O'Neill battled hard all day for Dimboola and were best on ground, while the victors were led well by Nicholas Lehman and Samuel Callins.
Brayden Culhane was the only goal kicker for Dimboola, while Connor McFayden and Lehman found the big sticks seven times each for Warrack.
