High-scoring 'premiership quarter' helps get Warriors over the line
A big "premiership quarter" set up a win for Stawell against the Horsham Saints on Saturday.
The visitors were up by a goal at the end of the first quarter and a couple of goals at half-time.
But it was in quarter three when the Warriors booted eight goals straight to the Saints' 1.4, really putting a gap between the sides.
The Saints rallied in the final quarter, outscoring their opponents 4.1 to 2.1, but it wasn't enough to get the points, with finals scores 8.10 (58) to 15.6 (96).
Cody Driscoll and Paul Summers were both in brilliant form for Stawell, kicking six goals each.
Matthew Combe and Mitch Martin were the only multiple goal scorers for the Saints, both scoring a couple of goals each.
The Saints lost despite the best efforts of Sam Clyne and Keegan Mellington, while Owen Summers and Zachary Marrow were the better players for the Warriors.
