Ellenbrook Eels bounced back strongly on the weekend with four wins across four grades, with only two games remaining in the season proper. Now sitting in third position on the ladder, Ellenbrook face off against a strong second place side Dianella Morley. Backline specialist Mark Norton said the display of teamwork from the side this year had been huge.
“The run and teamwork throughout the side is a standout this year and the results are showing on the scoreboard,” he said.
The 51-point win on the muddy surface was always going to be hard to play on but, best on ground Brad Pleysier adapted to the conditions early with an exceptional performance across the ground.
