Point Cook snuck home for a second straight round in Western Region Football League division 1 on Saturday.

Facing the Yarraville Seddon Eagles in the only WRFL game on Saturday due to the King’s Birthday weekend, it would turn out to be a low scoring affair.

The Bulldogs led by a goal at quarter time and just one point at the main break.

Three goals to two in the third quarter resulted in the margin reaching out to eight points at the final break.

The Bulldogs had just two scoring shots in the final term which they converted and it was enough to seal a 9.8 (62)-7.9 (51) win.

Mason Frenkel, Daniel Burton and Max Rouvray kicked two goals each for the Bulldogs.

Sam Darley in his first game for the season for the Bulldogs, was named their best.

Tyler Kolynuik and Nicholas Buykx also had strong games for the Bulldogs.

For the Eagles, Aidan Johnson was the only multiple goal kicker, kicking two goals.

Zachary Pritchard was named the Eagles best alongside Akol Deng and Josh Helliwell.

The Bulldogs remain in third position, a game behind second placed Altona and a game ahead of Caroline Springs and Spotswood.
