Tension was high for Saturday’s top-of-the-table clash between Narre Warren and Wandin in Outer East’s Premier Division.
The winner was guaranteed a four-point gap on the other on the premiership ladder with only six games left in the home and away season.
Heavy winds affected the day’s play and Wandin was unable to take advantage of the weather in the first quarter which put the Dogs behind the eight ball, only holding a two-goal lead at quarter time.
The Magpies swooped into the game with a six-goal second quarter, while the Dogs kept pace with two.
A dominant quarter from the Dogs in the third left them only three points adrift of the Magpies at the final change, but Narre’s ball use in the final quarter was damaging and allowed them to hit the scoreboard with another 6.6 to Wandin’s 1.0 to come away with a comfortable win, final scores 13.18, 96 to 9.3, 57.
Jordan Jaworski and Clinton Johnson each kicked 3 goals with one apiece from Brodie Atkins Harrison Byrne and Damian Furey.
Jaworski, Jordan Spencer, Cody Hirst, Chayce Black, John Ladner and Patty Bruzzese were the top Dogs on the day.
