Bulldogs beat Brookers again

Point Cook got its second win of the Western Region Football League women’s division 2 season in empathic style on Saturday.

Having already got a win against Braybrook earlier in the season, the two teams did battle again on Saturday.

The Bulldogs showed they had plenty of options up forward, as they scored more points for the game than they had for the whole season up until that point.

The Bulldogs got the win 16.11 (107)-0.1 (1).

Emily Laidlaw kicked seven goals for the Bulldogs, with Emily Allan getting two goals.

Angel Pokora was named the Bulldogs best.

It was one of two division 2 matches played on the first weekend of the split round for the women’s competition.

In the other match, Spotswood beat West Footscray by one point for a second time this season.

The Wolves got out to an early lead and managed to get out to a 19 point lead at half time.

The Roosters started to get going in the third quarter and reduced the margin to six points at the final break.

The Wolves were able to do enough in the last quarter to get a 5.9 (39)-5.8 (38) win.

In division 1, there was only one match in the first week of the split round with Point Cook Centrals hosting the Parkside Spurs.

The Spurs led by 12 points at quarter time, but failed to make the most of their opportunities.

The margin increased the second quarter with the lead out to 20 points at half time.

The second half was closer, but the Spurs were able to do enough, winning 5.9 (39)-2.4 (16).

Emily Evans was named the Sharks best.
