YOU have to admire Werribee Districts’ refusal to wave the white flag in the Victorian Amateur Football Association Premier B.
Sure, it has been a rough ride this season, brought about by youthfulness in a big boys’ division.
Yes, the club is consigned to relegation, and maybe even the wooden spoon.
But one thing you will always find in a Kirk Norton side is improvement, with heavy losses early in the season having been replaced by ultra-competitive efforts at the back end.
On Saturday, the Tigers got the rewards for persistence with a 12-point upset win over Old Haileybury, away at Princes Park in Caulfield.
Trailing by 10 points at three-quarter time, the Tigers pounced on their second victory of the season with a breathtaking four-goals-to-one last term.
Ryan Harrington was the star with six goals, while Bol Kolang, captain Matthew Dean and three-goal forward Aaron Taylor were the other standouts.
The Tigers are bound for the third tier next season, but they will be cooking up a finals-disrupting recipe for Old Brighton on Saturday.
In division 3, Old Westbourne moved closer to a winless season with a 134-point loss to La Trobe University.
