Ammos enhance finals hopes

Geelong Amateur enhanced its Bellarine Football League finals hopes and at the same time made it extremely difficult for Queenscliff to make it with a 28-point win on Saturday July 8.

Ammos sit in fifth spot on the ladder, a game clear of Modewarre, while Queenscliff is two games in arrears with five games remaining.

Queenscliff meets Modda this week in a mini elimination final.

Queenscliff was the better side during the first half, but Ammos scored eight goals to two after the break to run away with the win.

Jai Sheahan and Josh Grabowski each booted three goals for Ammos while star youngster Joseph Cincotta was the Coutas’ best.

Barwon Heads had to dig deep to brush aside a gallant Ocean Grove.

The Seagulls looked like they would run away with the game at half time after a late flurry of first-half goals saw them lead by 22 points.

But Ocean Grove had other ideas and slammed on six third-term goals in what was probably its best quarter of footy for the season so far.

The Grubbers led by a goal at the last change and were in front halfway through the final term, but some Ollie Wiltshire magic wrestled the lead back for Barwon Heads with the final three goals of the game to run out 14-point winners.

Forward Jye Walker was a constant threat for Ocean Grove with three goals while Kallum Hinchcliffe and Wiltshire were the reigning premier’s best.

Drysdale has all but wrapped up the double chance come finals time with a 30-point win against Modewarre.

James Breust and Lauchlan Dalgleish were fine players for the Hawks while Cohuna recruit Oscar Cooke was superb for Modda.

Torquay thumped Newcomb by 128 points with Lucas Anderson (six) and Jesse Dawson (four) combining for 10 goals.

Dylan Pettingill (five) and Jarod Bacon (four) combined for nine of Anglesea’s 23 goals against Portarlington.

The 138-point win kept Anglesea in fourth spot while Port is still searching for its first win.

Barwon Heads recruit Noah McGregor-Dawson played his best game for his new club while Nathan Pigott was Port’s best.
