Woori Yallock vs Wandin is one match that both sides always have eyeballed on the calendar and while the weather certainly let both sides and their supporters down, the contest didn’t disappoint.
With second on the ladder up for grabs, it was a hungry Wandin outfit that looked more prepared to adjust to the conditions.
The contest was king and with both sides boasting quality midfielders it was going to be about territory and maximising your opportunities once inside forward 50.
Woori Yallock Senior Coach Brendan Donovan said credit goes to Wandin who outworked and outhunted the Woori team.
“In what struggled to even look like a football match, Wandin got early scoreboard pressure and made the most of their chances,” he said.
