Tigers win at home
WOORNDOO Mortlake has continued its strong start to the season with an 18.18.126 to 4.5.29 win over Caramut at Woorndoo.
Despite the margin, Woorndoo Mortlake coach Isaac Templeton was impressed with his opponents.
“Caramut has improved a heap. The first and third quarters were tough contests, we got away from them in the second and last quarters kicking with the wind,” Templeton said.
The continued development of the younger Tigers was particularly pleasing for Templeton.
“Jack Richie, Kane Killen and Hunter Lynch, who has crossed to us from Caramut, have all been fantastic and keep getting better.”
Jai Middleton kicked four goals for the Tigers, with Templeton kicking three.
For Caramut, Damien Wynd kicked all four of his team’s goals to take his season tally to nine.
Looking forward to this week’s game, Templeton is unsure of what to expect against Great Western.
“They (Great Western) had former Richmond player Marlion Pickett play last week as well as some Tiwi Island recruits, so we could have some tough match ups.”
Caramut will host sixth-placed Hawkesdale Macarthur.
