Saturday night saw an inspired performance by Werribee’s Big V Championship men against ladder leaders Sandringham.
The Sabres got out of the blocks well and led 27-12 at the first change; however, the Devils scored 30 points in the second term, led by Michael Petridis and Chris Moore.
An even third term, with both Luke Egan and Graham Anstey strong under the ring and scoring 15 and 12 points respectively, meant Sandringham were only nine points ahead at the last change.
