In Division 1, Spotswood continued their winning ways, claiming a 35-point victory over Caroline Springs in a hard-fought and physical affair at Converse Oval.

Jessica Mckenzie was influential at stoppages for the Lakers, whilst Molly Althouse and Hannah McMahon starred for the Wolves, hitting the scoreboard and earning time in best.

Meanwhile, the Eagles welcomed Werribee Centrals to Yarraville Oval, but the Centurions proved to be too much, defeating the home side by 23-points.

Eagles Skipper Melanie Thompson-Allan celebrated a milestone 50 games and was well supported around the ground by her teammates, including Ann-Marie Geary and Sierra Grieves.

Larrisa Renaut and Peta Theodorou were standouts for the Centurions, each kicking 2 majors for their side.

After 5 rounds of footy, Spotswood sit atop the Division 1 ladder, and Wyndhamvale have taken the lead in Division 2.
