Wandin welcomed Berwick Springs to the Kennel for their Round Six clash on Saturday 18 May.

It was a powerful opening half by an undermanned Wandin that proved the difference on the day, producing the side’s best football for the year on their way to back-to-back wins.

The Dogs kept the Titans to a measly point in the first quarter while scoring 5.5 to set themselves up, before piling on another 7 goals in the second quarter to establish a 59-point lead heading into the main break.

In arguably Wandin’s first full four-quarter effort of the season, the Dogs kept the pace up in the second half, only allowing their opponents to score another goal in each quarter for the rest of the game while kicking another 8.10 in a dominant display.

Top Dogs on the day were Patty Bruzzese, Chayce Black, Clinton Johnson, Jordan Jaworski, Brodie Atkins, Thomas Hinds and Charlie Wood.

Goalkickers were Johnson 6, Jaworksi 4, Atkins, Bruzzese and Wood 2 and one apiece from Harrison Van Duuren, Macauley Beckwith, Daniel Hirst and Harrison Byrne.
