LISMORE Derrinallum’s 2024 Mininera League campaign got off to a flying start last weekend, with a 104-point win.
In front of a home crowd at Derrinallum, the Demons showed great form, dominating all over the ground to defeat the Pumas 18.20.128 to 3.6.24.

The third term proved the winning one for the Demons, piling on eight goals to the Pumas’ three points and heading into the final quarter with an 87-point buffer.
A low-scoring final term saw the Demons kick just seven behinds while Moyston Willaura added two.
