Match Reviews | With seven rounds down in the home and away season, there is still little separating the top contenders as they all enjoyed victories across the weekend.

North Ballarat have continued their charge toward a top six spot with a commanding 97-point win over Lake Wendouree.

Despite the lopsided final scoreline, the Lakers started with intent.

They matched North Ballarat for effort early, and while the visitors had one extra scoring shot in the opening term, it was North’s accuracy—five straight goals—that made the difference.

The Lakers couldn’t capitalise at the other end, registering just two goals in the first half.

From there, it was all North Ballarat.

The Roosters piled on 99 points to 11 after quarter time, taking full control of the game and stamping their authority across the game.

Their forward entries were frequent and deep, giving their attacking unit plenty of opportunity to convert.
