Weekly Times |THE beauty of football is nothing is guaranteed, so every now and again comes a result that will raise a few eyebrows.
Golden Rivers Football League club Hay was brought crashing back to earth with a 78-point loss against Nullawil on Saturday.
Hay went into the match on top of the ladder with a win-loss record of 5-1, whereas Nullawil was fifth at 3-3.
But the Lions did not score a goal after quarter-time when they were five points behind, and the Maroons have moved into fourth, a game behind now third-placed Hay, after the 16.6 (102) to 3.6 (24) result.
“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t surprised (with our performance),” Hay coach Simon Bunyan said.
“Take nothing away from Nulla, though, they were switched on and we weren’t.”
In the Tallangatta and District league Chiltern, which began the match with a 4-4 record, became the first team to defeat Tallangatta this season.
Tallangatta finished on the bottom last year.
