@BT Sub Sport News:SENIORS
Doveton continued its winning ways against a strong Narre Warren team with a hard-fought 17-point win.
The Doves started well, but were under immense pressure with the backline standing tall and only conceding an eight-point lead at half-time.
An inspiring speech by coach Steve Henwood got the Doves fired up and they showed why they were champions last year with a seven-goals-to-two third quarter.
The last quarter saw the game get very heated and the scoreline get closer, but the Doves prevailed.
Justin Hill played another excellent game on-ball and chipping in up forward with two goals and Peter Greenstreet was again solid in defence.
Up forward Ryan Hendy, David George, Rohan Scott and Brad Downe all kicked three.
Scores: Doveton 18.4.112 d Narre Warren 14.11.95.
