Williams move a game clear in second spot after defeating reigning premiers Boddington in round five

Williams moved a game clear in second spot on the ladder after downing reigning premiers Boddington by 24 points in round five of the Upper Great Southern Football League in Boddington on Saturday.

A powerful second term set up the Cats’ fourth win of the season, as they booted seven goals to three.

The visitors trailed at half-time by two points but set up a match-winning 28-point lead at the last change after kicking five goals to one in the third quarter.

Both sides booted two goals in the fourth term, the Cats finishing 13.16 (96) to 9.16 (70) winners.

Former WAFL player Jackson Slater received the match ball in the Think Mental Health Round after booting two goals and collecting plenty of possessions across half-back for the Cats.

Stewart Walters kicked three goals in the win while Lewis Davis (two goals), Tom Vellios (two) and Max Paterson were also solid.

Alex Oliver battled hard all day along with Mitchell Salmeri, Brendan Erceg and Troy Egerton-Warburton, but it wasn’t enough to help the Eagles get over the line and they sit a game outside the top four with two rounds remaining.

Kukerin-Dumbleyung notched their first win of the 2020 UGSFL season after climbing over the top of Katanning Wanderers in the second half at Quartermaine Oval on Sunday.

The Wanderers led by 14 points at half-time and appeared on track for their first win of season but the Cougars booted eight goals to five in the second half to run out seven-point winners.

The home side kicked four goals in the first term to open up a 26-point buffer before that was reduced in the second term as the Cougars kicked three goals to two.

A four-goal-to-one third term would see the Cougars take the lead by a single goal heading into the last change.

Both sides traded goals in the last term but the Cougars prevailed 11.14 (80) to 11.7 (73) and notched their first win of the season.

Ex-WAFL star Justin Joyce was awarded the match ball for his efforts in the win while Jalen McGee (three), Scott Ward and Ryan Smith were also important in the win.

Tyrone Roe, Laurence Collard along with Nicholson and Caleb Keley were named in the Wanderers best players.

Five goals to Andrew Vawser helped Wagin record an important victory over Brookton-Pingelly, jumping to fourth spot.

The Bulldogs trailed by seven points at both quarter-time and half-time and then a single goal heading into the last term but kicked two goals in the fourth to win by eight points.

Ex-WAFL player Daniel Macaulay was awarded the match ball for his best-on-ground performance in the 10.20 (80) to 11.6 (72) win while Vawser (five goals) and Michael Zoiti were telling.

Lloyd Padwick (four goals), Jarrod Bowman and Jacob Razario were best for the Panthers.
