South kicked five goals this quarter, plus the three goals to West and the breeze made for a great last quarter with only two goals the difference - 13 goals 6 points to South 11 goals 6 points.

West’s Scharenburg continued to be a handful.5

Warren and Stapleton found space too easily and Page continued to be a great spearhead.

Nic Collins continued his good form and Michael Hilder presented himself well at centre half forward.

With two goals between them and South having a slight advantage with the cross breeze, the first goal was all important.

West's Page converted his fifth goal to start the quarter off well for the Hawks and although South had a good deal of the play, its forwards played from behind and poor kicking allowed West Augusta backman in Hobbs, Higgins, Dadleh and Warren to continuously repel any South advances.

West were never troubled in the last quarter and kicked two goals to South’s one, to take the game by 15 points.

Wingfield had a good last quarter for South together with Jones and Laube, however the forwards for South were never allowed to dominate and game ended with another disappointing loss to the top team West.

West set up the win with a great first quarter and although South came back well they played well to hold up to the South comeback in the third quarter.

The win will provide them with top spot going into the second half of the year.

South had several players down on form and must improve their disposal if they wish to feature in the finals race with important games ahead against Lions and Central Augusta to come.
