The Northern Bullants have completed a comprehensive 79-point hammering of Sandringham at Trevor Barker Beach Oval at the weekend - bringing to a welcome end a worrisome two-match losing sequence.

Having dropped games against North Ballarat and Williamstown, the Ants carried out Senior Coach Darren Harris’s edict with a solid four-quarter display.

Nick Meese and Tyson Thomas (the latter with four goals to his name) were considered amongst the Ants’ best players afield, with Marcus Davies and Joe Dare also fine contributors.

The Bullants are currently third-placed on the table - a game clear of North Ballarat despite an inferior percentage. The players are now freshening up in lieu of this week’s bye, before readying for the 17th round match with the Hawks at Box Hill City Oval.

Northern Bullants            2.2          7.4          10.7        15.8 (98)
Sandringham                    1.3          1.4          1.6          2.7 (19)

Goals: Thomas 4, Kerr 3, Carter 2, McLean, Gale, Tuohy, Twomey, Casboult, Saad.

Best Players: Meese, Iacobucci, Davies, Dare, Cachia, Twomey
