TIMBOON Demons’ senior footballers got within 17 points of victory last weekend.
Playing in front of a home crowd, the Demons put on a great display of team footy and made good use of the ball, staying within a goal going into the second quarter before Rovers put the foot down in the second and went into the half-time break with a handy 20-point lead.
The third term was a relatively even one, with the Demons adding 2.2 to the board while Rovers kicked 3.3, before the final term saw the Demons add 3.5 and contain the visitors to 2.1.
Final scores were Timboon Demons 9.14.68 to South Rovers 13.7.85.
Best for the Demons were Lachlan Rosolin, Oliver Stansfield, Eddie Gaut, Kyle Delaney, Sam Negrello and Lyndon Alsop.
