Cats, Tigers keep winning

Macedon and Kyneton continued their good form while Woodend-Hesket returned to the winners list in the Riddell District Football League women’s competition.

The ladder leading Cats were in action under lights on Friday night against Melton.

The Cats kicked straight in the first quarter to lead by 16 points at quarter time, with the margin staying steady in the second quarter.

After half time the Cats were able to find another level, winning 9.8 (62)-2.5 (17).

Charlotte Noonan kicked six goals for the Cats.

Scarlett Lynch and Noonan were named their best.

Woodend-Hesket moved into third spot with victory against Lancefield.

The Hawks led by 15 points at quarter time before the Tigers reduced the gap to just four at half time.
