Round 9 is now behind us and we go to the June bye. Some big performances marked the weekend, with two players booting double figures. It was a weekend of high-scoring.

SENIORS

The Red 'n' Blacks completed the front nine with a crushing win over Old Trinity at Toorak Park. After a relatively even first term, the home team stepped it up a gear, with Marcus Stavrou, Dan Robinson and Will Goss dominating proceedings across the middle and some very tidy work in front of the sticks from Charlie MacIsaac and mick Batten.

With Xavier Richards, Billy Gowers and Grant Valles - all back in the team after layoffs of varying length - proving excellent marking targets, the Greens were under pressure all afternoon. After the long break, the Claret and Stout had the foot to the floor for a quarter and a half and blew the doors off the visitors.

At times, the home team linked magnificently, and many of their goals came from superb team play.

The win saw the X-Men go back into fourth position, ahead of Uni Blues, who fell to St Kevin's.

Goal Kickers: C. MacIsaac 5, X. Richards 4, W. Gowers 4, D. Tuddenham 2, M. Batten, S. Ralph, G. Valles, C. Beetham

Best Players: W. Goss, M. Stavrou, C. MacIsaac, W. Gowers, D. Robinson, D. Tuddenham

RESERVES

The Reserves recovered from a slow start to grab a six-goal victory over Old Trinity at Toorak Park.

Harro Bell nailed five in the win, with Matt Handley and Charlie Niall snagging three apiece. Best afield was Julian Gangi, who was creative all afternoon, while Jack Kennedy was impressive in the ruck. Charlie Knott and Tommy Amad proved strong contributors again in the win.
