WILLIAMSTOWN came from a goal down after three periods to defeat Surrey Park 13-12 in a Lacrosse Victoria men’s state league second semi-final cliffhanger at PJ Lynch Reserve in Altona on Saturday.
The pre-game favourite Fearons outscored Surrey Park four to two in the last quarter to advance to the grand final on September 15.
The prime scorers for the top-ranked Fearons were Thomas Garns-
worthy and Darren Nicholas with four goals each.
Troy Butson and Kyle Morlang scored doubles, while Matthew Garnsworthy was the chief provider with two assists.
An all-western suburbs season decider has been ruled out after Footscray ran out of petrol to lose 12-11 to Malvern.
The Scray were in a commanding position, leading 9-7 after three periods.
They failed to ice the game and succumbed to a late charge from Malvern.
Luke Moore was leading scorer for the Scray with a game-high five goals, including a goal in each quarter. Chris Plumb scored a hat-trick.
Williamstown will await the winner of this weekend’s Surrey Park-Malvern preliminary final.
