RALPH'S NEW ROLE
O'Shaughnessy is Xavs' Footy GM
Old Xaverians collected the 16 match points on offer in R11. Unfortunately, the U23s, on debut, were awarded a forfeit, and are still yet to take the field. The other three line-ups all won comfortably.
Stinger Stanley was best afield as Delany's Dynamos rumbled over Old Scotch at Stradbroke Park. Eleven players scored goals, and five of them a brace as the Red 'n' Blacks pounded the Cardinals, winning every quarter and coming home strong.
Next up, a big clash with top-ranked SKOB, and an outside chance to steal top spot with a big win.
Goal Kickers: S. Turner 2, H. Hosking 2, C. Niall 2, S. Stanley 2, S. Stynes 2, G. Lachal, W. Honan, N. Brown, N. Jane, T. Mantesso, T. Barbakos
Best Players: S. Stanley, W. Honan, A. Lamanna, S. Turner, H. Ralph, D. Condon
Angus "Cliffy" Clavin turned it on for the 'Nages as they romped over Caulfield Grammarians after an even first term. The big fellow booted four in the runaway win, which saw the Old Xavs maintain their spot in second position. This week's clash with Old Scotch gives them a chance to cement cement that position, with OMs on top by a game.
Goal Kickers: A. Clavin 4, A. Sorrenti 2, J. Hanger 2, M. Tempone 2, T. Fantasia 2, M. Tempone 2, D. Nash, W. Hannebery, J. Buffon, N. Nunan, J. Norman, T. Beaton, S. Knox, J. Bueno

Josh Lyon and Hicham Nidam both had Michelles as the Lime Hose crushed AJAX on the Plunket on Sunday morning. The Crocs turned it on in all four quarters, kicking six goals in each, atoning for an earlier defeat at the hands of the Jackers. Nick Russ proved unstoppable for the Reptiles, who will now face De La Salle at Stradbroke Park in a joust for top position.
Goal Kickers: J. Lyon 5, H. Nidam 5, J. Lucchesi 3, H. Aikman 3, J. Kentish 2, J. Ryan 2, J. Donohoe, J. Pica, L. English, P. Darrer
