Burras defeat Roos
Dimboola weren't able to turn their draw last time against Minyip Murtoa into a win on Saturday, as the Burras recorded a 16.19 (115) to 7.12 (54) win.
It was a consistent and determined effort on Saturday that earned Minyip Murtoa their first win of the season, according to coach Luke Fisher.
The Burras kicked off the game brilliantly and held a 47-point lead at the end of the first quarter before holding an advantage of 54 points at half-time.
Dimboola, to their credit, were better in the second half, but the Burras weren't going to let this one slip, scoring 5.1 to the opposition's 3.2 in quarter three and 2.6 to the Roos' 3.4 in the final quarter.
The Burras coach was named best on ground, along with forward Oscar Gawith with an eight-goal haul.
Mitchell O’Donnell and Simon Hobbs were the better players in the losing side, while the majority of their goals came from Brayden Culhane, Darcy Dubois and Thomas ODwyer, who each booted two.
Dimboola will finish off their season with games against Horsham Saints and Stawell.
