Anglesea had to work extra hard to brush off a tenacious Newcomb in round 11 of Bellarine Football League on Saturday June 17.
Anglesea had the aid of a strong breeze in the opening term and led by 26 points at the break, but the Power hit back when it was their turn to trail by 18 at half time.
A five goal to one third term had Anglesea up by 44 points at the last change, but Newcomb rallied to boot five of their own although it wasn’t enough to prevent a 32-point victory to the fourth-placed Roos.
Jarrod Bacon kicked four for Anglesea while the ever reliable Andrew Steele slotted through three for Newcomb.
Modewarre continued its midseason resurgence with a 54-point win against Geelong Amateur.
The Warriors have now won three of their past four and are outside the top five only by percentage.
It was an even contest for the first half and even at three-quarter time, the game was still anyone’s, but six goals to one in the final term sealed the win for Modda.
Nat Matthews was best for Modda while Tom Hornsey booted six goals to take his season’s tally to 35.
Brydon Barnett was Ammos’ best with four goals.
Barwon Heads debuted 15-year-old Angus Ford in its huge win against Portarlington.
The occasion didn’t overwhelm the youngster either with Ford picking up 16 disposals, three goal assists and booting one himself to be among the best players.
The Heads won by 140 points and rested co-coach Mitch Herbison and key forward Brock Close, but Ollie Wiltshire booted five goals and Harrison King four.
Ocean Grove took it right up to Drysdale for two and a half quarters, but the Hawks’ class prevailed to win by 44 points.
James Breust and Tom Ruggles booted four goals each while Josh Wooding did the same for Ocean Grove.
Torquay eventually defeated Queenscliff by 40 points, but not without a heck of a fight from the young Coutas.
Queenscliff led by eight points at half time and an upset was brewing, but the undefeated Tigers clicked into gear with eight second half goals to one.
Daniel De Gois kicked four for the Coutas while Jack Heathcote and Michael Croxford were Torquay’s best.
