SEWF PREMIER

TYABB’S dominant start to the SEWF Premier season has come to an end at the hands of the St Kilda Sharks.

The Yabbies were dominant in their first two games of the year, but faced a tougher challenge at home against the Sharks. St Kilda piled on the pressure early with a six goals to zero opening term.

Tyabb were able to stop the onslaught throughout the second and third quarters, but play opened up again in the final term.

A five goals to zero quarter saw St Kilda run out dominant winners over Tyabb 2.6 (18) to 13.7 (85).

Jess Gardner was named in the Sharks’ best thanks to her three goals.

Mornington got the better of Mt Eliza on Sunday in a scrappy contest at Alexandra Park.

Mt Eliza had plenty of opportunities throughout the day, but were let down by poor goalkicking. They kicked 2.13 for the afternoon.

The Bulldogs capitalised, running out 18 point winners. Skye Nisbet scored two goals for Mornington, while Georgia Howes and Bianca Vernon also impressed.

Frankston had a tough day at home on the weekend. They fell to defeat at the hands of the Eastern Devils.

The Dolphins started well, holding the Devils scoreless until quarter time. They were soon overwhelmed and eventually lost 2.3 (15) to 9.5 (59).

Seaford scored an impressive win in their clash against Coburg. The Tigers held Coburg goalless after the first term, running out 8.7 (55) to 1.1 (7) winners.
