Six goals from Ben Said propelled Sunbury Lions to their second win of the Ballarat Football League season on Saturday.
It was the Said show early against East Point as the forward kicked four first-quarter goals to help the Lions open up a 26-point lead at the first change.
Once in front, the Lions stayed there.
The margin remained about 20 to 30 points all game, with the Kangaroos unable to reduce the gap and the Lions holding strong.
The final score was 14.9 (93)-9.12 (66).
Said, who sits third on the league’s goalkicking list, finished with six goals for the Lions, with Ben Guthrie kicking three and Jesse Flannery two.
James Rizk, in his second game for the season, was named best on ground.
The win was vital for the Lions, who have had mixed results in their opening four games.
The Lions are sixth on the ladder, but have played more games than all but one of the teams above them.
They will face an unbeaten Lake Wendouree side on Saturday.
In netball, the Lions remain undefeated in A grade following a 49-34 win against East Point.
The Lions, without gun shooter Chloe Curran, led at quarter-time by four goals and extended that margin at every change.
Amanda Cuscak, who stepped up from B grade, shot 42 goals for the Lions. Ashleigh Hardy was named best on court.
