Torquay takes bragging rights

Torquay remains the only unbeaten side in the Bellarine Football League after a powerhouse performance against Barwon Heads on Saturday April 29.

In a battle of last season’s grand final, which Barwon Heads prevailed, Torquay was ominous in the first half, booting 10 goals to two and kept the Heads scoreless in the second term to run out 52-point winners.

Lucas Anderson was superb with eight goals as the Tigers ran amok on the spread while their forward entries were fast and effective.

Youngster Joe Pike kicked four for the Seagulls and Riley Stuhldreier played his best game for his new club.

Tom Ruggles kicked eight goals for Drysdale in a 31-point win against Ocean Grove.

Drysdale put the game to bed early although the Grubbers fought the game out.

Ocean Grove coach Dave Farrell said Ruggles was tough to match up on.

“I thought Funky (Glenn Campbell) was terrific on him – Ruggles is a really tough match-up and whoever plays on him needs some help,” he said.

“They have a really good spread of talent forward and the pressure we put ourselves under with our turnovers and lack of pressure on the ball coming in meant all our defenders were caught one vs one.”

Half-forward/midfielder Brady Pritchard continued his good season for the Grubbers with three goals while Max Sutton and Josh Wooding were fine contributors.

Anglesea surged past Queenscliff in the second half to win by 30 points and moved into fifth place.

Jack Walters was best afield with five majors for Anglesea, which booted nine goals to four in the second half after leading by a point at the long break.

Geelong Amateur handed out a 121-point hiding to Newcomb.

Aaron Willitts slammed home seven goals for Ammos while Jai Sheehan, Josh Grabowski and Max Hungerford all snared three.

Portarlington looked headed for its first win in years when it led Modewarre by four goals at half time.

But Modda booted 10 goals to none after the break to win by 39 points.

Tom Hornsey kicked five for the Warriors while Lachan Hart was best for the Dees.
