Tigers back on winners list
WOORNDOO Mortlake’s senior footballers are now sitting in the top five thanks to a 69-point win over SMW Rovers last weekend.

By the half-time break the Tigers had extended their lead to 25 points.
A relatively even third term saw the Tigers head into the final quarter with a handy 31-point lead, which was extended to 69 by the final siren thanks to a seven goal last quarter.
Final scores were Woorndoo Mortlake 17.20.122 to SMW Rovers 8.5.53.
Matthew Pemberton kicked five goals for the Tigers while Jordan Buckley added four and James Coghlan West three.
Tyler Humphrey booted two goals for the day while Jesse Horan, Damien Pemberton and Will Templeton each contributed one.
