SECOND placed Nirranda proved too strong for the Timboon Demons last weekend.

The home side applied pressure all over the ground on Saturday, making it difficult for the Demons to get on the board for the majority of the game.

Sam Negrello kicked the visitors’ only score for the day while Kyle Delaney, Ben Matthews, Ned Deppeler, Henry Stansfield, Harrison Whiting and Simon Harkness worked hard to be named in the best.
