Southern Flinders 11-14 (80) d Orroroo 7-18 (60)
Southern Flinders continued its recent run of good form with a solid 20 point come from behind win over Orroroo in the match played at Wirrabara.
The Roos controlled much of the first half but as in many games this season, inaccurate kicking cost what should have been a much greater lead.
The Roos dominated the second term but only managed d3-9 from 12 scoring shots and led by 22 points at half time.
The Tigers came out fired up after half time and rattled on seven goals to one in a match winning quarter.
Orroroo battled hard in the final term but inaccuracy again cost as it kicked one goal and six behinds for the quarter.
This win now puts the Tigers clearly in second position on the ladder and it is a genuine premiership threat after a shaky start to the season.
Best for the Tigers was playing coach Scott Brand (three goals), Matt Woolford, Cameron Edson, John McKenna and Dan Keeley (two goals).
Rhys Stanbridge and Jamie Davidson each kicked two goals.
Best for Orroroo was ultra consistent Matt Dignan, Tim Byerlee, Liam O’Dea, Damien Ellery and Kirwin Moore.
Justin Duffy and Jon Rasheed kicked two goals each.

Undefeated Crystal Brook was untroubled by the Magpies and handed out a 91-point thrashing at Crystal Brook on the weekend.
The Roosters were dominant all over the ground and only some inaccurate kicking saved the Pies from an even more embarrassing losing margin.
