Lions continue on

The momentum continues to grow for the Sunbury Lions in the Ballarat Football Netball League.

Both the Lions senior footballers and A-grade netballers have been in good form and they both came away with big wins against Sebastopol on Saturday.

On the footy field the Lions won, 13.17 (95)-5.10 (40) at Clarke Oval.

The Lions were goalless in the first quarter before they got going in both attack and defence.

Six goals to none in the second quarter turned the game in the favour of the Lions.

After an even third quarter, the Lions finished strongly with the breeze to come away with the win.

Brock Landt kicked three goals for the Lions, while four players kicked two goals apiece.

Josh Guthrie was named the Lions best along with Harry Power and Landt.

The win takes the Lions to a 6-1 record and second on the ladder. They are one of four teams with that record.

In the A-grade netball, the Lions remain undefeated.

Against the Burras it was a fairly even first quarter before the Lions really got going.

The margin was 14 goals at half time and then out to 21 at the final quarter.

The Lions had their best quarter in the final quarter, 24-3, to seal the 72-30 win.

Star shooter Rebecca Hicks shot 66 goals for the Lions to continue her hot season.

The Lions sit six points clear on top of the ladder.

Sunbury faces Melton this week at Macpherson Park.
