Crows claw Tigers in twos

Top of the table Lang Lang will have to progress the long way around after going down to Longwarry in a dour reserves contest on Saturday.

Mitch Brown put through the first from centre-half-forward, before a pass inside to Jack Stockx levelled the scores heading into quarter time.
Kane Oldham kicked towards goal from a free kick, Brown taking the mark in front before letting go a big "come on, let's go!"
Angus Young put through a brilliant snap from the pocket for goal of the day as the Crows took a 13-point buffer into half time.
Leigh McDonald put through a long goal for the only major of the third term, the low scoring nature of the contest ensuring the Tigers remained in touch.
Angus Young, Kane Taylor, Zach Murphy, Brown, Cody Coad and Ben Cuckson helped the Crows work to the lead.
Jesse Hand, Joseph Dalgleish, Andrew Thompson, Brock Duggan, Rhyce Harvie and Lincoln King were keeping the Tigers in the contest.
McDonald burst through the pack to find Janik De Silva, who in turn found Brown on the lead for his third to ice the game.
