MEN’S DIV ONE SEN
DIVISION One had five games take place on Saturday (18 April) for their second round of the season.
Frankston YCW are sitting on top of the MPFNL Division One Men’s ladder as one of four teams to have won both their games so far this season.
The Stonecats faced Sorrento on Saturday and were in control all day.
They got off to a strong start and managed to get four goals on the board in the first quarter, to Sorrento’s two.
They held the Sharks scoreless in the second, to go into the long break 41 points up.
Sorrento showed a bit more life in the third quarter, putting on three goals, but it didn’t stop the Stonecats from pulling further away.
It was much the same in the final quarter with Frankston YCW coasting to a 43-point victory.
Tyrren Head managed three goals for Sorrento and was among their best. Brenton Lambert and Joshua Patullo both had three majors for Sorrento.
Mornington are yet to get a win in their 2026 campaign, after going down to Devon Meadows.
They were out of the blocks strongly in the first quarter, putting on 2.2 to the Panther’s single goal.
They continued in strong form in the second, putting on six goals to Devon Meadow’s five, to go into the long break 12 points up.
The Panther’s came out in the third firing, putting on four majors to a single goal for the Bulldogs, snatching the lead: up three points at three-quarter time.
It was a close-run affair, with Mornington getting their noses in front temporarily in the final quarter, but they just couldn’t keep the lead. Devon Meadows ended up winning by four points.
Captain Nick Battle managed four goals for Devon meadows, and Mitchell Bluhm scored three majors for Mornington.
Mt Eliza have maintained their perfect record for 2026 with a win against Edithvale-Aspendale, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing.
Edi-Asp grabbed the early lead in the first quarter due to inaccuracy in front of goal by the Redlegs. Edi-Asp managed 3.3 by the first break to Mt Eliza’s seven straight points.
Things didn’t get any better for the visitors in the second, still missing the big sticks to notch up 10 straight points by the long break to Edi-Asp’s 4.5: a 19-point lead.
Inaccuracy plagued Mt Eliza again for the third quarter, although they managed to find the target four times, getting their noses in front by three-quarter time by four points.
They slotted another four in the final to grab the win by 17 points.
The score wasn’t pretty though, with Mt Eliza’s 8.21 overcoming Edi-Asp’s 7.10.
Dromana had home ground advantage in their clash against Langwarrin.
Inaccuracy in front of goal cost Langwarrin in the first quarter with Dromana scoring 2.2 to Langwarrin’s 1.6, placing Dromana in the lead by two points.
Langwarrin found their mark in the second, kicking four straight goals, but Dromana managed to keep their noses in front, going into the long break with a three-point lead.
Langwarrin turned on the jets in the third quarter, slotting 7.6 to Dromana’s 3.5 and placing them in the lead by 22 points.
By quarter four, there was no coming back for Dromana, as Langwarrin kicked four consecutive goals after Dromana started the quarter with one, and despite Dromana trying to work their way back, they were unable to. Langwarrin won by 20 points.
Kaie Sullivan was Dromana’s highest goal scorer, scoring four, with Langwarrin’s Matthew Johnson scoring four goals of his own.
Rosebud remains undefeated for the season after their fairly easy win against Pines.
Both teams started slowly in the first quarter, with Rosebud taking the lead by five points after scoring only three goals.
Rosebud took control of the game in the second, slamming on 10.4 to Pines’ 2.3 and leaving them with a 54-point lead for the long break.
The third quarter was fairly even for both teams, with both scoring four goals and leaving Rosebud with a large lead.
The final quarter of the game was uneventful with only two goals being scored for each team and leaving Rosebud with a fifty-nine-point lead to win the game.
Khyal Jacobson was a fundamental player for Pines, scoring four goals. Blake Kuipers scored four goals for Rosebud.
