Brenton Martin and Jacob Schuback kicked four goals each in the Pies' win, while Cox chipped in with one.

Cox said he did not feel any pressure coaching against a past AFL player.

"It was more just the excitement going up against an ex-AFL player," Cox said.

"It was great. Because it was my first year in this league, I had no idea what the league was like or what the guys were like. Not once did I think we'd be six-zero."

In the Mininera and District League, Hawkesdale Macarthur's Frank Matthews bagged 15 goals in the Eagles' 164-point demolition of Wickliffe Lake Bolac, while Caramut and SMW Rovers fought out an exciting draw.

Former Hawthorn player Angelo Lekkas made his debut for Sunbury in its two-point win against Darley in the Ballarat Football League.

And Murray beat Western Border by 125 points to win Pool C of the interleague country championship yesterday.

"The blokes we picked were hardball getters and had a lot of speed," coach Damian Sexton said.

"When you put that together, you're always going to have a good side."
