Coutas rise to the challenge

Queenscliff breathed new life back into the Bellarine Football league finals race with a win against fellow contender Anglesea on Saturday June 10.

The Coutas are in sixth spot and level on points with Geelong Amateur.

The 11-point win was soured somewhat with teenager Sol Bowtell taken to hospital with a collapsed lung.

With Anglesea and Geelong Amateur both losing, Queenscliff is now well and truly in the race for a finals spot.

Che Durran was best for the Coutas Daniel De Gois kicked four goals and Will Baker three.

For Anglesea, coach Jordan Keras was best while Dylan Pettingill took his season’s goal tally to 38 with a haul of four.

Anglesea remains in fourth spot on the ladder and faces Newcomb this week while Queenscliff takes on the unbeaten Torquay.

Tom Ruggles booted 10 goals in Drysdale’s 134-point win against rivals Portarlington.

The Hawks booted 26 goals for the afternoon with Jack Hargreaves contributing six and Ben Fennell five.

Stephen Walton was Port’s best and Zach Mevissen kicked three goals.

Drysdale has an eight-point gap in third spot and looks destined for the double chance come finals time.

Ocean Grove got back onto the winner’s list with a 32-point victory against Newcomb.

Youngster Jet Kneebone continued his impressive form with another top game and Josh Horton snagged four goals.

Andrew Steele went back to the forward line and kicked four goals for the Power while Ryan Jackman played well.

Barwon Heads thrashed Geelong Amateur for the second time this season.

The 71-point win was dominated by young gun Ollie Wiltshire, who kicked five goals while Mitch Phelps booted four and Brock Close three to take his season’s haul to 36.

Riley Ferguson was Ammos’ best and Josh Grabowski kicked three of his side’s seven goals.

Torquay continued on its winning way with a 48-point triumph over Modewarre.

The Tigers led by only two points at the long break, but a seven goal to none third term sealed the win.

Chase Loftus was Torquay’s best while the ever reliable Josh Finch was Modda’s best.
