Wyndhamvale has avoided the shame of a winless season after upsetting Albion by 20 points in the Western Region Football League division 1 at Wyndham Vale South Oval on Saturday.
The Falcons were competitive in the early parts of the season, but have been pushovers for the past month, so this victory came out of the blue.
The Falcons will need to back up with a win over second-last St Albans at Kings Park Reserve on Saturday to have any chance of avoiding a last-placed finish.
They will at least go into the clash with some players in good form, none more so than Nathan Bisset, who kicked five goals in the win against Albion. Kobe James, Kier Bol and Jack Tessari were also prominent.
