League Review | Marong ended Mitiamo’s winning streak on 20 in Saturday’s third round of the Bendigo Bank Loddon Valley Football Netball League’s senior footy action.
The Panthers and Superoos clashed on the Superoos’ turf at John Forbes Oval.
Unbeaten since the 15th round of the 2019 season, Mitiamo was aiming to chalk up 21 wins in a row.
The Marcus McKern-coached Superoos worked hard to lead 50-40 at half-time against the in-form Panthers.
Marong turned the game in the third quarter as it added 4.3 to 1.3.
Led by the play of David Johnstone, Brodie Hartland, Jack McCaig and Kyle Manley, Marong won the last term, 22-15, and the contest, 89-74.
The Mitiamo defence worked hard to limit the impact gun forwards Brandyn Grenfell and Kain Robins had on the contest, but the Linton Jacobs-coached Panthers found other avenues to goal.
