Local League Lions: Round 17
Many Lions continued to press claims for VFL selection as we approach the end of the 2019 season.
VAFA Premier
Luke Di Lizio kicked a goal as St. Bernard’s defeated Old Brighton at Brighton, moving within less than a game of the top 4 in the Premier A Division.
Essendon District Football League
Lucas Cavallaro took out best on ground honours, as Strathmore had a convincing win over Pascoe Vale by 77 points at Raeburn Reserve which also featured forward/wingman Ben Reddick. The big win puts Strathmore in outright 5thposition, level on points with 4thplaced Greenvale.
Jonty Neaves played for Glenroy in a 12-point loss to Airport West at Sewell Reserve.

MacLeod defeated Lower Plenty by ten points to maintain 5thplace on the ladder, with Jack Baker being named amongst their best. Harry Simington also featured.
In Division 2, Hedley Smith was named amongst the Fitzroy Stars best; however, they fell to an 89-point loss to Whittlesea at the Whittlesea Showgrounds.
