Two-time Shepparton United premiership coach Marc Quarrell says his side’s forward strength is a major reason it boasts six straight wins over Mooroopna. Three of those victories have been by six points or fewer, including a one-point result in 2010 and last year’s two-point success thanks to Dwain Vidler’s after-the-siren goal.

Cobram sits atop the Murray Football League seniors ladder and remains undefeated after three rounds.

A sometimes wasteful but ultimately effective Tongala achieved the result it was looking for when it defeated Tocumwal by 87 points at home on Saturday in the Murray Football League.

Ex-Deniliquin Rams players Blair Whelan and Simon Maher will both make a return to their former club for the 2013 Murray Football League season.

FOR new Rutherglen coach Darren Hatton the club is bigger than the individual. Though not a reluctant coach, Hatton is not yet entirely comfortable taking the job left vacant by Gil Ould. “Coaching Rutherglen isn’t probably something that I’ve aspired to do; it’s more about circumstances this year,” Hatton said.

TARRAWINGEE coach Finton Eames says North Wangaratta isn’t going anywhere. The Bulldogs tackle the reigning premier on Saturday and Eames said the Hawks, who won their opening round clash by a whopping 258 points, had shown no sign off dropping off this year. “I’ve got no doubt they’ll be thereabouts again this year,” Eames said.

After starting last season in career best form, the then-Lavington ruckman was pleasantly surprised to see his name among the league’s elite players and named in the initial Ovens and Murray 47-man interleague squad against the Hampden league.

We have a fantastic round of matches in Murray League Football this week. Mulwala clash with Echuca United in what is undoubtedly the match of the round. Big improvers Tongala get to test themselves against Cobram, while Numurkah will get the opportunity to see how much they have improved when they take on Finley. The other 3 games all appear on paper to be fairly evenly matched, so results could go either way.

An ‘ugly’ win is still a win and Moama coach Simon Maddox could not be happier his team is off the mark for season 2013.
