Gippsland Times | Yallourn-Yallourn North celebrated its new life as the Jets with what turned out to be a commanding 74-point at Heyfield to remain on top of the North Gippsland football ladder.
The Jets couldn’t get off the runway at the Gordon Street Recreation Reserve in the first quarter, but once the pilots refuelled at the first break, there was no stopping them, winning 20.16 (136) to 9.8 (62).
Heyfield kicked the first six goals of the game and kept YYN to a single behind in the opening term to take a 37-point lead. What happened next however defied logic, as the Jets kicked 11 goals in the second quarter to well and truly leave the Kangaroos mystified.
YYN continued on its way in the third, stretching the margin to 39 points at three-quarter-time, and then doing more of the same in the last, as it ended with a comprehensive 74-point win.
