SANCTUARY Lakes shot up to second spot on the ladder, after a tough 12-point victory against a strong Braybrook side at Featherbrook Reserve on Saturday.
Round 4 kicked off with the Brookers kicking with the wind, and taking a 14-point lead heading into quarter time.
But, the Sharks showed that they too would use the scoring end as best they could, piling on four of their own goals in the second term to take a slender five point lead into the main break.
An enthused Braybrook outfit, determined to score their first win of 2016, responded in the third term with three goals, to again take back the lead, to put themselves in a winning position with a one goal break with just a quarter of football to play, putting them in a winning position with a quarter to play.
However, Sanctuary Lakes proved too strong in the end, running away with six final quarter goals to win by a comfortable 24-points.
Michael Hall played a fantastic game which saw him listed in the best. He kicked three important goals.
Steven Narelic also chipped in with three goals for the Sharks, while Paul Cutajar-Milosev and Manuel Reardon kicked a pair each for Braybrook.
However, it was Christopher Best, in fine form this year, who was the most influential player on the ground.
In round four’s remaining games, Tarneit continued its winning run at the expense of North Sunshine, who despite five goals from Anthony Fawcus, were run over in the second half by the Titans.
Parkside proved too dominant in the Magpie match, as they obliterated Laverton, outscoring Laverton’s game score in each of the four quarters to win by 141-points.
Finally, North Sunshine, led by Robert Greto with nine goals, pulled away from Wyndham Suns to win by 22-points.
In round five, Sunshine Heights will look at ending Tarneit’s winning run, as they travel to Wootten Road Reserve.
Meanwhile, another high quality clash will see Newport fresh from the bye, hosting Sanctuary Lakes and aiming to add to their extraordinary percentage.
Wyndham will be aiming to rebound against Laverton after putting up a solid effort for three quarters.
Finally, Braybrook will hope to go one better and take their first win in 2016 as they host North Sunshine, while Parkside has the bye.
