Albion came back into the game ready to fight for the win, kicking five goals to Sunshine’s two. However, the game wasn’t won until the final quarter, Albion went into the fourth with an eleven-point lead and proved to be the hungrier team, with nine scoring shots to Sunshine’s one.

Darcy McPherson put on quite a show in the match with a stellar best on ground performance, also slotting a goal for Albion. Over at Sunshine it was Noah Andruela who took out the best on ground title after a brilliant game for his team.

Wyndhamvale have handed North Footscray a massive 16.12 (108) to 5.9 (39) defeat on Saturday.

Parkside took down Braybrook in a thumping 27.15 (177) to 5.3 (33) defeat.
