Manly Warringah was ruthless in their 133-point victory over the struggling East Coast Eagles at Weldon Oval.

The Wolves needed a quick return to form after their heartbreaking loss to Sydney University last week, and they jumped East Coast from the outset, kicking 4, 6, 8 and 4 goals respectively in a simply dominant performance. The Wolves gained crucial percentage as well, in keeping East Coast to just 1 goal & 7 behinds.

Veteran full-forward Trent Dennis-Lane was in vintage form, kicking 9 goals in a superb display. Representative forward Zac Youlten also kicked 3 goals for Manly Warringah.

Pennant Hills: Nicholas Hey 9, Oscar Irwin 3, Joshua Stern 3, Damian Ballard 2, Angus Lee 2, Xavier Russell 2, Joshua Everett

In the traditional Anzac Day fixture, an accurate Pennant Hills was too strong for Inner West Magpies, running out 103-point winners in front of a big Anzac Day crowd at Croydon Park. Final scores were Pennant Hills 22.9.141 to Inner West Magpies 5.8.38.

After an entertaining 9-goal first quarter, Pennant Hills, on the back of a magnificent performance from key forward Nick Hey, kicked 16 goals to 2 over the final three quarters as they continued their resurrection under second-year coach Jason Blakemore.

A notable move by Blakemore, in the absence of League fullback Mikey Carroll, was to have League ruckman Mitchell Blow mark veteran Magpies full-forward Ben Zoppo. Blow played superbly as a stopgap fullback, with Zoppo switched into the ruck in the second half to get his hands on the ball.

Hey was unstoppable for Pennant Hills, kicking 9 goals despite the best efforts of gallant Magpies defender Keegan Litchfield. Josh Stern, in great early season form, kicked 3 majors for the Demons, as did small forward Oscar Irwin.

North Shore had a huge day against St George at Gore Hill Oval, hammering the Dragons by 146 points.

The Bombers were dynamic in the first tern, kicking an almost unheard of 12.5.77 in the first 25 minutes. The Dragons, at least, fought hard after the first-quarter avalanche, kicking 6 goals over the final 3 quarters whilst the Bombers continued on their merry way, kicking 16 more goals in a quite simply awesome display in front of the faithful at Gore Hill.

Matt Buskariol kicked 7 goals for the Bombers, with the League’s most improved player Cooper Donald adding 5 majors of his own. Thomas Hitchens (4 goals) and Ned hardman (3 goals) hit the scoreboard regularly for North Shore. Hunter Pickett kicked 4 goals for St George in an impressive display, given limited opportunities.

High flying UNSW-ES systematically dismantled UTS at Trumper Park, eventually running away with a compelling 92-point victory.

The Bulldogs did not give the Bats a chance in the first half, careering away to a 46-point lead at the main break. The Bulldogs kicked 9 goals to 2 in the second half to establish themselves as early Premiership favourites, having now beaten Manly Warringah, North Shore and now UTS.

Dynamic forwards Rebecca Privitelli (5 goals) and Emily Conlan (4 goals) were in great form and caused the usually reliable Bats backline nightmares on a huge day at Trumper.


MANLY WARRINGAH WOLVES 12.18.90
EAST COAST EAGLES 0.1.1

Manly Warringah:
Kenya Fahey, Hannah Woolf, Abbie Hayes, Holly Wickham, Roxi Beuzeville, Lauren Bull

East Coast: -

A dominant Manly Warringah crushed East Coast Eagles by 89 points at Weldon Oval. Final scores were Manly Warringah 12.18.90 to East Coast Eagles 0.1.1.

The Wolves performance was basically flawless, with the only exception being only 12 goals kicked from 30 effective shots at goal. Keeping the talented Eagles outfit to a solitary behind highlights an outstanding effort from Manly’s back 5 and talented midfield.

Bella Clarke kicked 4 goals for the Wolves, with small forward Isabella Rudolph chipping in with 2 majors.

In an ominous sign for the rest of the Premier Division, Manly’s best two players were midfield guns Kenya Fahey and dual Mostyn Medallist Hannah Woolf. They were aided and abetted by Abbie Hayes, Holly Wickham, Roxi Beuzeville and Lauren Bull. East Coast Eagles was best served by Imogen Gray, the evergreen Renee Tomkins, Nellie McMillan, Kahli Gilchrist, Grace Simonsen and Nelly Thomas.

After a close first quarter (the Bombers led by 10 points after the first 18 minutes), North Shore kicked 5 goals to 1 in the second term and were never seriously threatened afterwards. The Dragons regrouped after half time and defended their hearts out, keeping North Shore to 5 goals in the second half.
