In his fifth game for the club, St Joseph’s recruit Zack Mongelli was named as Lismore/Derrinallum’s best, while also slotting three goals.
“Saturday was by far Zack’s best game for us, his positioning and work rate are first class, plus he hits the scoreboard.”
Fellow St Joseph’s recruit Zack Mongelli also drew praise from Wiltshire.
“Lleyton did plenty of fantastic clearance work, he has slotted in really well.”
