Roosters get the win

West Footscray got its fourth win on the board, as Parkside Spurs had a big win and Yarraville Seddon lost to another finals contender in the Western Football League women’s competition.

With only a couple of rounds left, sides are looking to seal up finals spots and other sides keen to finish on a high.

The Roosters, who had their third draw of the season last week, were able to sing the song again on Saturday.

Facing Wyndhamvale, which they’ve had a number of battles against in recent years, it was a slow start for both sides with neither side able to kick a goal in the first quarter.

While inaccurate, the Roosters managed to just out to a 19 point lead at half time.

Another goal on the board in the third quarter increased the lead before the Roosters finished off strongly to win 6.12 (48)-0.3 (3).

Jessica Mudie and Janelle Sammut kicked two goals each for the Roosters.

Zara Harnden, Laura Littlepage and Sammut were named best.

The Roosters sit sixth on the ladder with two rounds remaining.

Yarraville Seddon fell short in one of its biggest tests of the season so far, just falling short against Werribee Centrals on Friday night.

The Eagles led at quarter time and still held a narrow three point lead heading into the main break.

The Centurions kicked two goals in the third quarter, while the Eagles could manage only three points as they conceded the lead.

The final quarter opened up slightly in the final quarter with two goals each as the Centurions did enough to come away with a 6.5 (41)-4.11 (35) win.

It was all single goal kickers for the Eagles.

Akec Makur Chuot, Elizabeth Moore and Rachel Culvenor were the best for the Eagles.

The Eagles remain in fourth spot

Parkside Spurs flexed their muscle with a big win against the Suns.

A 7.2 first quarter set up the win for the Spurs who then continued to pile on the score in the next three quarters to come away with a, 20.14 (134)-0.0 (0)

Nat Pearce kicked four goals for the Spurs, while Jessica Byrnes and Stacy Rigon kicked three goals each.

Rita Ceravolo, Pearce and Giselle Lambley were named the Spurs best.

The Spurs remain in second spot.

The Suns and Eagles face off this Saturday, in what is a mini final with both teams still fighting for fourth spot.

A win this week would ensure a finals spot for the Eagles, with the Suns having a bye in the final round.

In other matches this week, Werribee Centrals host West Footscray on Friday night, North Sunshine plays Caroline Springs and Point Cook Centrals plays Parkside Spurs.
