It was a hard-fought win for Wandin over Upwey-Tecoma in Round Seven.

The Tigers got the jump early as they snagged the first two goals of the game before Wandin could get any control of the ball but the Dogs were able to peg them back and hit the lead despite an inaccurate 2.7 for the term.

What followed was a game that Wandin controlled without being damaging enough on the scoreboard.

Upwey-Tecoma consistently pushed numbers behind the ball, forcing Wandin into firing shots ‘from the carpark’ for large chunks of the day and their inaccuracy kept the Tigers in it.

Despite this, Wandin steadily led throughout the game and secured a 22-point win, final score 11.18, 84 to 9.8, 62.

Top Dogs on the day were Aaron Mullett, Daniel Hirst, Chayce Black, Macauley Beckwith, John Ladner and Patty Bruzzese.

Goalkickers were Mullett with 6, Beckwith with 2 and Brodie Atkins, Harrison Byrne and Jordan Jaworski with one apiece.

Next week, Wandin travel away to Pakenham.
