Catani defeated Ellinbank 10.9.69 to 7.8.50 in their EDFL Round 18 Seniors game on Saturday.

The biggest delta this round was the Warragul Industrials’ 115 point win against Poowong, 23.16.138 to 3.5.23.

Ellinbank & District Football League president Roger Gwynne told the Casey & Cardinia Free Press the round’s results were “more-or-less predictable,  except maybe Catani v Ellinbank.”

“I would have thought Ellinbank may have won that game but Catani… took out the points,” Gwynne said.

Poowong may have suffered a heavy defeat on the weekend, but the side’s win against Lang Lang in Round 17 was a landmark event this season, according to Gwynne.

“They haven’t won a game for two years and last week they won their first game, which was great,” he said.

“It comes in cycles. You have one team on top for two, three, four years, and [they] win a couple of flags, and then they fall by the wayside and another club takes over.”
