Demons rattle the Cats
DESPITE having just two wins on the board to date, Timboon managed to rattle the second-placed Allansford on their home ground last weekend.
The Demons headed to Allansford determined to make the Cats work hard for their points and they did exactly that.
Less than a goal separated the two sides at the end of the first quarter and by half-time the Demons were within a goal of the highly-fancied Cats.
To their credit the Demons contained the home side to 3.3 in the third term while adding 3.7 to the scoreboard to get within two points heading into the final quarter.
While the Cats were able to hold off a last-ditch effort from the Demons to win by 16 points, full credit to the visitors for their persistence and pressure throughout the game.

Best for the Demons were Lachlan Roslolin, Ben Newey, Lyndon Also, Joshua Worboys, Ash Hunt and Will Moorhouse.
