Weekly Advertiser | Dimboola and Ararat have firmed as top-five teams in the Wimmera league’s A Grade competition, following crucial wins on Saturday.

The Roos are in third position on the ladder after a five-goal win over Southern Mallee Thunder, while Ararat scored a solid win against Nhill.

Dimboola was forced to mount a sizeable comeback against the Thunder, giving up a 19-10 lead in the first quarter.

But the Roos slowly clawed their way back into the game, trailing by six at half-time before just two goals by the last change.

The fourth quarter delivered an intriguing battle, as the home side piled on 19 goals to the Thunder’s 12.

Maddison Marra, who went from centre in the first half to goal-attack in the second half, was named the Roos’ best, along with wing-attack Billie Barber. The Thunders’ leaders Steph Thomson, a dominant goal-attack, and Codie Robins, in wing-attack, were best for the visitors.
