THE golden age of Mallee football continued at Swan Hill on Saturday when the Mallee Football League continued its relentless march up the Worksafe VCFL ladder by defeating the higher ranked Central Murray Football Netball League by a whopping 85 points.
This was another outstanding win by Mallee and follows on from wins against Wimmera last year and North Central the year before.
On each occasion Mallee has been led by coach Col Durie making it four interleague wins in a row for Durie.
“The win was a fantastic team effort,” an elated Durie said after the game.
“Every player in the Mallee team played a significant role in the victory.”
Durie said Mallee’s tackling pressure was a highlight for his side.
“In the end it took its toll on the opposition. Our pressure through the midfield caused turnovers which we were able to capitalise on and score goals through our two pronged combination of Damian Cupido and Cliff Ryan, and our backline was superb.”
