A Dog day afternoon

Footscray pipped local rivals Altona 5-4 in a Hockey Victoria men’s premier league goal feast at the Footscray Hockey Centre. The Bulldogs scored all their goals in the second half, including two to Scott Shaw, to bring the ladder-leading A’s back down to earth. Chris Coleman scored twice for A’s. Sam McIntosh is pictured doing the party tricks for Footscray. In women’s premier league, Danielle Schubach scored a hat-trick as Altona dismantled Footscray 5-1 in merciless fashion.
