Weekly Advertiser | Despite languishing near the bottom of the ladder with just one win to their name, Warrack Eagles continue to push sides each week, going down by just 11 points to Stawell on Saturday.

The Warriors, sitting in third on the Wimmera league senior ladder, are a tough task at Central Park but the Eagles kept with them – particularly in the first half.

With a 35-32 scoreline, the home side kicked four goals in the third term and were able to hold the Eagles to just one goal for the quarter to put a buffer in place.

The usual suspects of Josh Fowkes, Sam Williams, Aiden Graveson, Paul Summers, with five goals, led the way for the Warriors.

The Eagles were able to outscore the home side in the fourth quarter, 26-19, but didn’t quite have enough to cause an upset.

Charlie Penny, Sam Hanna and Ben Hanna impressed for the Eagles, who this weekend have a bye.

For Stawell, it will face Southern Mallee Thunder, which is coming off a confidence-boosting win over Dimboola.

The Thunder scored a strong 40-point victory at Dimboola Recreation Reserve, leading from the outset and never looking back.
