CRT Sept 728x90

Wimmera FNLThe Weekly Advertiser | Southern Mallee Thunder notched up its third win in a row on Saturday when it won a thriller against Stawell.

The Thunder, bolstered by some new recruits, look to have their season back on track, now sitting fourth on the ladder but are in a logjam with two other sides – Minyip-Murtoa and Stawell – all on 20 points.

With Dimboola and Horsham Saints sitting just outside the top five on 16 points, it could be a flip of the coin who plays Wimmera league finals football this season.

The lead swapped and changed several times throughout the match at Central Park, Stawell, with the scores level at 35 points apiece at half-time.

The Thunder held a two-point lead going into the last quarter after the Warriors failed to capitalise on their opportunities, kicking 3.5 in the third term.

The last quarter was free-flowing football with nine goals scored, but it was Thunder who came out on top to win 93-84.

Thunder coach Kieran Delahunty said the match against Stawell was a see-sawing affair.

“It was obviously a great contest and we dug deep and ran out the game really well – it was a very pleasing win,” he said.
