Tigers slip out of the five
WOORNDOO Mortlake’s senior football side has slipped out of the top five on the Mininera League ladder after a 111-point loss to Penshurst last weekend.

The race to the finals series will be a tightly contested one, with the Tigers left to face the seventh-placed Tatyoon this weekend.
Their remaining games will see them play Hawkesdale Macarthur (third), SMW Rovers (10th), Great Western (9th) and Moyston Willaura (11th).
Final scores were Penshurst 22.22.154 to Woorndoo Mortlake 6.7.43.
