VAFA: Werribee Districts in narrow loss

NELWY promoted Werribee Districts showed it will be more than competitive in Premier B before a heartbreaking three-point loss to St Kevin’s Old Boys in their first game at the level at Soldiers Reserve.

The Tigers are kicking themselves over their failure to convert after having two more scoring shots than the visitors and still coming out on the wrong end of the scoreline.

Tigers coach Kirk Norton will be encouraged by what his side served up as an entree to life in the VAFA’s competitive second tier.

Jonathon De Pellegrin, Adam Alifraco and Brent Morrow, who booted five goals, were the stand outs for the Tigers.
