PYRAMID Hill snapped the three-game glamour run of Mitiamo at Mitchell Park on Saturday.

The return of Brodie Carroll for just his fourth game for the Bulldogs this year boosted the potency up forward.

Carroll kicked three of the home side’s 25 goals on a list that included nine other players and was headed by Jesse Sheahan’s haul of eight.

Slingo, Carroll and Sidebottom, having his third game of the season, gave Pyramid Hill the drive to take a four-goal lead at the first break.

Tough contests had players resting on the bench, including Billy Micevski with a calf injury.

Mitiamo was also without Luke Lougon for part of the first half but he returned to the ground and again made his presence felt.

Lougoon, Clohesy and Morrison kept the battle up for four quarters but could not counter the potency of Pyramid Hill up forward and the best-on-ground work of Declan Slingo who was pivotal across the midfield in setting up dynamic passages.

The scoreboard, while reflecting an im-

Bryden Morrison provement for Mitiamo on when the two met earlier in the season, was Pyramid Hill’s most accurate return all season with just 10 behinds. z Bridgewater’s young brigade rose to the constant challenges of Calivil to scrape home by 10 points.

The Mean Machine was without Jack Symons, suspended after a match review of video from the previous round.

The scrappy first half saw Calivil head to the main break with a two-goal lead.

Maher, Thompson and Avard had put the Demons back into contention after a sluggish start on the scoreboard. z Bears Lagoon Serpentine was outclassed from the first bounce in its clash with Marong. z Maiden Gully sunk to a ninth straight loss after surrendering its half-time lead to Newbridge. Chris Dixon was the Maroon’s leading goalkicker with four.

Bridgewater had more of the play in the third quarter but pressure and inaccuracy saw six behinds scored while both teams added two goals, Jeremy Campbell one of the off-target offenders.

The stirring final quarter saw Bridgewater’s young brigade of Darcy Wood, James Naughton, Oliver Muggleton, Ayden McDowell and Nick Naughton hold the course.

Despite a valiant effort from coach Justin Laird and another solid performance from Brohm, the third-placed Bears could not put a dent in Marong’s game plan.

The Panthers had backups for every passage and options galore up forward. Brayden Grenfell’s five goals came in the first 60 minutes and he then let other players do the work. He now sits on 99 goals for the home and away season.
