Mininiera District FNLThe Weekly Advertiser | Ararat Eagles have stamped themselves as premiership favourites in the Mininera and District Football League, downing second-placed Lismore-Derrinallum by 10 points on Saturday to go two games clear atop the ladder.

Anticipation for the clash had been building for weeks, with the Eagles entering undefeated while the Demons’ sole loss came at the hands of Wickliffe-Lake Bolac in round two.

The game lived up to its big billing, with the visiting Demons grabbing a 20-point advantage at quarter time before the Eagles struck back.

With ruckman Jack Taurau and onballers Ben Robertson and Jake Peters leading the way, Ararat piled on six goals to one in the second quarter as Zach Louder, Andrew Cameron and Jack Wilson provided dangerous targets up forward.

A back-and-forth third term saw the Eagles again relinquish the lead, trailing by a point at the final change.

But with top spot on the ladder on the line, Ararat showed its mettle, kicking 2.3 to two behinds in the last quarter to secure an 11.6 (72) to 9.8 (62) win.
