Horsham was back on the winner’s list with a win over Stawell 87-45.
In a free-flowing match, the Demons got out to a 21-14 lead by quarter time and never looked back.
Horsham goalers Georgia Batson and Imogen Worthy paired well in the goal circle, shooting 36 and 51 goals respectively.
Sticking with their starting seven players throughout the match, the Demons built on their lead at every break and should have second place locked in for the finals.
Ararat was another team to return to the winners’ list, with a convincing 78-36 win over Minyip-Murtoa.
Wing-defence Tash Noble and goal-attack Maggie Astbury, shooting 51 goals, were instrumental in the win.
Meanwhile Warrack Eagles recorded a 48-35 victory over Nhill at Davis Park. After an even first half, the scoreboard sat at 20-18 at half-time with the Clyne sisters – Nicola and Lauren – leading the way.
It was still anybody’s game at the last change, with the Eagles holding a four-goal lead.
But it was the Eagles who came home with a wet sail in the fourth quarter, outsourcing the home side 17-8.
Warrack’s best players were Jess Kelly and Isabella Orszulak.
In round 16 action, the Saints host Minyip-Murtoa, Nhill will travel to Hopetoun to take on the Thunder, Stawell will face another tough test in Dimboola, while Warrack Eagles will play Horsham Demons.
