Match Reviews | The BFNL welcomed another series of twists and turns over the weekend with upsets, finals previews and big wins all making appearances in Round 16.
North Ballarat held off an honest Sunbury with a tense 12-point win at Mars Stadium.
The important win was set up in the first half as Brendan McCartney's men led by 22 points at the main change.
While the half time difference doesn't seem much on face value the Roosters were near double the Lions score leading 47-25.
The four premiership points consolidates North Ballarat's fourth position on the BFNL ladder with the bye and East Point (H) to come.
Brock Leonard, Tom Bromley-Lynch (two goals), Sam Glover, Sam Scally, Sam Artz (one goal) and Elliot Lamb (two goals) were named best for the winners in a game where goals came at a premium.
Returning star duo Jamie Quick (two goals) and Jack Riding (one goal) looked threatening at times before the Werribee VFL listed Riding left the field temporarily with the blood rule after a heavy knock.
