precariously placed in the top five, with Rosebery Toorak hot on their heels, but that petered out when the West Coasters’ chances were dashed by a 74-point loss to Wesley Vale.

East Ulverstone were the main beneficiaries of the result. Despite their big loss to Motton Preston, the Crows are safe in the knowledge next weekend’s bye in the final round of matches will

not affect them.

Nevertheless, their 26.23 (179) to 2.6 (18) defeat in the Eddie Russell Cup clash will be of concern, powerless to stop the Demons’ red-hot exhibition of quality football.

Labelled by the Motton Preston coach Adam Waasdorp, as their best game this season, Dylan Grandfield was voted best afield and awarded the Eddie Russell Medal.

Predictably, Turners Beach made short work of West Ulverstone with a goal-scoring spree that left the Lions completely nonplussed. Nicholas Gregson stunned the visitors with his game-high 12

goals, and together with Jeremy Jones (seven) led the Seagulls to their eighth win of the season.

Sheffield can take some solace from an otherwise battling year, courtesy of their nine-point win over Spreyton, to show they could have the nucleus of a competitive mid-tier team in the near

future.
