Loss makes the point

By JARROD POTTER

SFL – DIVISION 2 AND 3
WINNING ways are over at Keysborough … at least for now as the Burra’s undefeated start in SFL Division 2 was ended in a two-point nail-biter against Oakleigh District.
Neck and neck throughout the clash, the wayward kicking of both sides came back to haunt Keysborough in particular with 9.11 (65) not enough to undo Oakleigh District’s 9.13 (67).
Jake Dunn and Tyson King bagged four goals each while Daniel Morland, Michael Downie and Reece Spadaccini were best afield. Keysborough will host Heatherton after the bye.
Doveton Eagles was brushed aside by Hampton 10.6 (66) to 15.10 (100).
In Division 3, Endeavour Hills smashed Hallam under lights by 40 points with Hallam’s Matt Neve and Endeavour Hills’ Shane Peake both slotting four majors.
VAFA – DIVISION 2
WALTZING past another challenger, St John’s maintained its high-flying start to 2015 with a rollicking 65-point win over Monash Gryphons.
The forward pressure of Rohan Scott (six goals) and Aaron Thornton (four goals) was too much for the home side as the JOCs tandem was given expert delivery from Liam Mara, Matt Nicholson and Glenn Costas.
St John’s remains unbeaten atop the Division 2 ladder and faces Ivanhoe AFC after the bye in a battle of first versus second – the JOCs’ biggest test this season.
