HARCOURT (27) def by AVOCA (42)
Avoca took a gritty 15-goal win against Harcourt on Saturday afternoon.
It was a game where the Bulldogs led throughout the majority of the day, although early indicationsseem to suggest that it will certainly be hard to score against the Lions this season.
A 12-goal to seven opening quarter saw the Bulldogs assume control, and they were able to add to this lead slightly in the second quarter when they were able to score another 11 goals to seven to take a nine-goal lead into the main break.
The third quarter was a grind as Harcourt tried to keep themselves in the game, scoring seven goals, while holding the Bulldogs to eight. But it was not enough to prevent a 10-goal margin at the final change.
Avoca took advantage, knowing that the Lions had thrown everything at them, and were able to clear away in the final quarter by scoring 11 goals to six to eventually record their win.
Maddy Egan scored 28 goals for the Bulldogs, while Chantelle Wardlaw added 14.
Tayla Gale scored 15 goals for the Lions, while Kate Blake added 12.
