Round Review | Yarrawonga were forced to work overtime to eventually pull away from a gritty Corowa Rutherglen winning by 25 points at the JC Lowe Oval.
It took another Leigh Williams masterclass up forward and yet another Leigh Masters clinic across half back to ensure the Pigeons got the points. Williams booted eight goals including an incredible six in the second quarter to take his season tally to 52 the same as Wangaratta’s Cal Moore. Masters racked up 35 possessions and took 15 marks to further boost his Morris Medal hopes. Michael Gibbons and Ryan Bruce stood out along with young ruckman Kyal Tyson.
The Roos were closing in on a huge upset when they held a narrow lead midway through the final quarter, before Yarrawonga kicked the last four goals. Cameron Wilson three goals and close to thirty possessions was best for the Roos, while young gun George Sandral impressed on debut.
