MEN’S DIV TWO
EDITHVALE-Aspendale is now two games clear on top of the ladder after picking up a big win over fellow premiership contenders Chelsea. Edi-Asp came into the match against Chelsea last Saturday with just one loss to their name for the 2024 season. Chelsea had only lost twice all year. Edi-Asp established control of the game early, and never gave it up. They went into the first break ahead by three goals, then stretched their lead to four goals by half-time.
It was more of the same in the second half as Edithvale-Aspendale continued to pile on the pressure. They eventually handed Chelsea their third loss of the year – Edi-Asp won 9.12 (66) to 15.10 (100). Lewis Diggins, Kurt Lo Po, Alexander Browne, Colby Nayna, and Kyle Yorke were Edi-Asp’s best. Diggins scored six goals, and Lo Po scored two.
Chelsea now sits in third place. Second-placed Devon Meadows also suffered a loss last weekend – the Panthers succumbed to their third defeat of 2024 at the hands of Somerville.
Somerville played host to Devon Meadows on Saturday. The home side dominated from the outset, and never looked like losing. Somerville upset Devon Meadows 16.16 (112) to 7.9 (51). Lachlan Williams contributed four goals to the scoreboard, and Mason de Wit booted three.
Crib Point kept up their good run of form with a win over Bonbeach last weekend. The Magpies beat the Sharks 4.10 (34) to 7.8 (50) away from home.
Seaford had little trouble dispatching Hastings on Saturday – the Tigers won by 51 points. Karingal and Pearcedale closed out the round with comfortable victories over Rye and Tyabb respectively,
