Tiger time as Lang Lang beats Buln Buln

The upset of the penultimate round of Ellinbank District football came at Lang Lang, where the Tigers took the points off finals bound Buln Buln.

The 10-10 (70) to 8-5 (53) result now leaves the Lyrebirds vulnerable to missing the double chance, should it drop the points to Neerim-Neerim South next week.
It opens the opportunity for Trafalgar, who face the Tigers next week, to clinch the valuable double chance.
Buln Buln were slow out of the blocks, conceding six goals to one.
While they won the remaining three quarters with seven goals to four, the early margin proved too difficult to claw back.

Helping the Lyrebirds work their way back into the contest were Cruze Ross, Trent Baker, Zach McMillan, Shaun Beecroft, Sam Batson and Max Steenholdt.
BUNYIP have all but secured a finals ticket, kicking away for a comfortable 21-14 (140) to 11-7 (73) victory over Catani.

The Bulldogs took control of the contest in the third term, putting through eight goals to one before a final quarter shootout that realised five goals each.
Bunyip enter the final round four points clear of sixth-placed Lang Lang, with the added advantage of a significant percentage advantage.

Leading the way for the Blues were Chase Harris, Luke McKenna, Liam Adams, Liam Hetherington, Will Kouris and Brodie White.
TRAFALGAR continued to sharpen its form ahead of finals, kicking away to a big win over Ellinbank, 16-10 (106) to 3-3 (21).
The Eagles held the Bloods well in the second term, conceding just two goals, but otherwise found them difficult to contain.

Three goals to four ensured a competitive finish to the match.
