A top of the table clash provided the Wandin faithful something to get excited about on Saturday afternoon at Clegg road.
A Veterans’ premiership reunion and the possibility of some quality football meant that the game was played in front of a solid crowd and the contest did not disappoint.
Wandin controlled much of the first half with speed they were able to put on the ball testing Narre’s defence and only some ill-discipline from the home side resulting in goals meaning the margin wasn’t more than the four-goal Wandin halftime lead.
But from there, Narre was able to slow the game, Jesse Davies becoming influential both in the ruck and in the air around the ground and their precise ball movement began to affect the contest. Wandins ill-discipline in the first half and inaccuracy (1 goal 8 behinds) in the second helped Narre salute to the tune of 13 points. Final score Wandin 12.11, 83 defeated by Narre Warren 14.12, 96.
Top Dogs on the day were Chayce Black, Damien Furey, Clinton Johnson, Aaron Mullett, Todd Garner and Brodie Atkins.
