SITTING just outside the top five and playing on their home ground, Allansford proved too strong for the Timboon Demons last weekend.
The Cats went out firing at the Allansford Recreation Reserve, booting two goals three in the opening term while keeping the visitors scoreless.

Final scores were Allansford 9.8.62 to Timboon 4.2.26.
Charlie Trotter, Thomas Marshallsea, Ash Hunt, Lyndon Alsop and Ben Newey were best for the Demons while Newey was effective in front of goal, kicking two, with singles from Marshallsea and Trotter.
