Weekly Advertiser | Warrack Eagles threw a spanner in the works of Horsham Saints’ hopes to make Wimmera league senior football finals, as the home side scored a 20-point win on Saturday.

With Stawell knocking over Nhill by five points, Dimboola thrashing Horsham Demons by 96 points and Ararat continuing on its winning streak to defeat Southern Mallee Thunder by 25 points, the Saints now find themselves a win outside the top five.

Playing at Anzac Park, the Eagles versus Saints was a tight tussle in the first half with scores 25-22 in favour of the home side.

But in wet conditions, Warrack was able to kick three goals in the third term, to the Saints’ one goal, to take a handy 15-point lead into the last change.

Another two goals to the Saints’ one in the final term put the Eagles in a winning position.

With Machok Garang, Sean Arney, and Sam Hayden playing standout football, the Eagles notched up their third win of season 2025.

For the Saints, Sam Clyne, Angus Martin and Mitch Martin again featured in the best.

But in a season where Warrack has suffered so many admirable, close losses – the win was vital in where the Eagles are building to for season 2026.

Another vital win came at Central Park, Stawell, where the Warriors grinded out a win over Nhill, cementing third spot – now on 32 points – and slightly edging away from fourth-placed Minyip-Murtoa on 24 points.

Also on 24 points is the Thunder, fifth, and Dimboola, sixth.
