A RUTHLESS Frankston YCW piled on 22 goals to claim an impressive win over Sorrento at David McFarlan Reserve on Saturday. The two peninsula powerhouses came into the contest in very different positions. The Stonecats have been good this season, and Sorrento have struggled to garner any momentum.

Sorrento showed more fight in the second half, but the damage had been done. The Stonecats prevailed 15.11 (101) to 22.7 (139). Riley D’Arcy and Luke Paynter kicked four goals each for Frankston YCW. Matthew Jackson, Jaxson Mead, and Christian Tsiampas booted three each. The result left Frankston YCW in second place at the end of the weekend. Rosebud remains on top of the ladder after a tight 15-point win over Mt Eliza.
Dromana prevailed over Edithvale-Aspendale in a close one last weekend. Just two points separated the sides at the final break. Dromana got the better of the Eagles in the last quarter to wrap up a 10.11 (71) to 12.12 (84) win. Sam Fowler and Ryan Morrison scored four goals each for the Tigers.
Langwarrin defeated Mornington 10.9 (69) to 16.16 (112) at Alexandra Park on Saturday. Red Hill beat Pines 5.10 (40) to 9.15 (69) away from home.

CRIB Point held on for a thrilling one point win over Somerville last weekend. Barely anything separated the two sides all day. At each break of play the lead stood at less than a goal. After a hard-fought final term, the Magpies booted two straight goals to sneak ahead. They held on for a famous win 12.7 (79) to 12.6 (78). Max Vercoe, Archie Shepherd, Max Coughlin, Lee Sheehan, and Jett Bauer were the Magpies’ best. Shepherd and Sheehan booted three goals each.
Hastings notched up their first win of the 2025 season on Saturday, getting the better of Karingal. Hastings hosted the match. Both sides came into the game looking for their first victory of the season.
In tricky conditions, Hastings triumphed 9.11 (65) to 5.9 (39).

KARINGAL took the fight to Warragul Industrials on Saturday, but fell short. The Bulls were right in the contest in the first half. At the main break, Warragul led by just four points. Warragul Industrials showed their class in the second half. They beat Karingal 5.5 (35) to 7.11 (53).
Frankston were clinical on Saturday, claiming a 53 point win over Pearcedale. A four-goals-to-zero opening term put the Dolphins in prime position. They went on to score a 2.2 (14) to 9.13 (67) win. Seikula Drodrolagi kicked three goals for the Dolphins. Poppy Gardner, Abbey Power, Emerald Wood, Ella Hilton, and Tess Neaves also had great games.
Mornington thumped Bonbeach by 117 points last weekend. Eliza Snehotta was in fine form for the Bulldogs – she kicked five of her side’s 17 goals. Stella Rogers, Georgia Templeton, Laura Noonan, and Vicki O’Sullivan also played their part in the huge win.
