Burras too strong for Saints

■ St Mary’s flexed their muscles in an impressive 46-point victory over Watsonia at Whatmough Park, keeping their spot in the top five on the NFNL Division 2 ladder intact.

The Burra trailed by 17 points at quarter time, and by a point at three quarter time, before running rampant in the final term to finish 18.15 (123) to 11.11 (77) victors.

St Mary’s have now won four of their last five games and remain in fourth position while Watsonia drop to eighth, putting more pressure on them to keep up with the rest of the top five.

Burra defender Mitchell Green proved to be St Mary’s’ best as he dominated in their defensive half, taking numerous intercept marks and providing great vision to deliver efficient passes to his teammates.

The talented Tane Cotter played arguably his best game of the season, racking up countless possessions as well as three goals in the win.

But in terms of goals, it was Jeremiah Antypas who spearheaded the home side’s attack. He contributed four goals in his side’s final term blitz and finished with a season high of six for the afternoon.

For the visitors it was competition leading goalkicker James Lucente who converted four goals for Watsonia, taking many marks in his attacking 50 and providing many lead up op- tions for his half forwards.
