CARISBROOK 23.12 (150) def MALDON 7.7 (49)

Despite a tit-for-tat opening quarter, Carisbrook thundered home over Maldon on Saturday with a 101-point win.

The first quarter was the only one worth watching for travelling Maldon fans on Saturday, with each team kicking four goals and Brook slightly ahead on the score board due to four behinds to two from Maldon.

This is where the game pivoted however, with Brook kicking six goals while Maldon managed just one to trail by 32 points at the main change.

The Redbacks excelled in their trademark third quarter, kicking a massive seven goals and Maldon, somehow, still getting a couple of goes at the big sticks, putting up two goals.

Carisbrook closed in a brutal way, keeping the Dons to a single minor score in the entire fourth quarter, while themselves kicking away to the triple-figure victory with six goals.

Nic Wright was best on for Carisbrook in the win, with Lewis Rinaldi, Matt Jukes, Zak Rinaldi, Anthony Zelencich and Addison Milner also taking votes.

Zelencich kicked a bag of six, thriving in the rain while Ash Munari and Zak kicked four apiece.

Billy Miller, Hayden Kelly and David Wilson fought hard for Maldon, named in the best beside Julian Lockwood, Bryce and Hayden Coffey.

The win has moved Brook into second place on the ladder and has them walking tall ahead of round 13 against Newstead.

Maldon is now in massive danger of a rapid slip down the ladder, now ranked sixth and up against top-of-the-ladder side Trentham this weekend.
