One bad quarter was all that stood between the Melton Centrals and an upset win in the Riddell District Football League on Saturday.
Taking on the highly touted Macedon, the Centrals showed why they have been one of the big improvers to start the season, going goal-for-goal with the Cats in the first half.
Trailing by just five points at the main break, Melton needed to ensure its level didn’t drop at the resumption of play. However, it was Macedon that came out of the rooms ready to make a move. The Cats’ defence locked Melton down, conceding just one goal for the quarter. There were no such scoring problems at the other end, with the Cats finding their range inside 50. Macedon booted 7.2 to streak ahead to a 41-point lead at the final change.
Despite a win being out of reach, the Centrals continued to fight, kicking six goals to three in the final term to cut the margin to 25 points. The 16.17 (113)-13.10 (88) win maintains Macedon’s unbeaten start to the year.
