Panthers on

PEARCEDALE catapulted into premiership calculations with an emphatic 13-point win over previously undefeated top dogs Dromana.
The Panthers were behind in the first half, but rallied on the back of great games from star forward Luke Damon and former Frankston VFL on-baller Chris O’Dell to overpower and outscore their highly rated rivals after half-time.
In the other upset of the day, Frankston comprehensively defeated second-placed Sorrento by 50 points in a fiery encounter.
Among the three reports from the game were veteran Sharks forward Guy Stringer and Oliver Trand who both incurred striking charges.
Somerville, Rye and Hastings also scored wins on the day.
Mornington goalkicking legend Simon Goosey played his 300th game for the Bulldogs against traditional Peninsula league rivals Mt Eliza on Sunday.
The Goose booted four goals and was named among the Bulldogs best players in his side’s 33-point loss to the Redlegs.
Seaford maintained its composure to defeat Chelsea by only seven points in an entertaining game with another veteran spearhead in Daniel Clarke booting four goals.
Bonbeach had a 26-point result over Langwarrin, while Karingal proved no match for Frankston YCW, going down by 46 points.
The final game saw Edithvale-Aspendale continue its good recent form by handing Pines a 57-point defeat.
