TERANG Mortlake dominated in its round 10 matches last weekend, defeating Camperdown in all games played at Leura Oval.
It was a clean sweep of the board for the Bloods, with wins across all grades of football and netball.
In the senior football, the second-placed Bloods pushed the Magpies out of the top five with a 31-point victory, 11.9.75 to 6.8.44.
The opening quarter saw both sides struggle to gain a firm lead on the board, with less than a goal separating them at the break.
In cold and wintry conditions, the second quarter provided very little in terms of scoring opportunities, with neither side able to add to the board.
The Bloods dug deep and made better use of the ball in the second half, adding seven goals while containing the Magpies to just two goals, four.
Final scores were Terang Mortlake 11.9.75 to Camperdown 6.8.44.
Ryley Hutchins, Lewis Taylor, Joe Arundell, Ben Reid, Hugh Porter and Alexander Moloney were named best for the Bloods while Hutchins kicked four, Will Kain and Taylor contributed three each and Luke McConnell added a goal to the board.

Ryan Tanner bagged six goals for the Bloods, while Thomas Justin added four, Harvey Roberts three, Henry Roberts two and both Will Berryman and Jack Kenna added one goal each.
Best for the Bloods in what was a great team effort were Harvey Roberts, Thomas Justin, Ryan Tanner, Josef O’Sullivan, Will Berryman and Connor Cardwell.
