A good crowd came to Frankston Park to see the Battle of the Bayside. Sandy got off to a good start controlling the game and kicking 6 first quarter goals and despite the efforts of Aaron Murray kicking 3 golas himself, the Zebra took a 20 point lead into quarter time.

The Dolphins fought back in the second quarter kicking the 1st 3 goals to get within 2 points until the Zebras added 2 themselves to lead by 16 points at half time.

Frankston tried hard to stay with Zebras in the 3rd quarter but again a couple of late Zebra goals gave Sandy a 26 point lead at the final change.

Again Frankston came out and kicked the 1st 2 goals of the final quarter to get within 2 goals but goals to former Dolphin Ryan Ferguson and Peter Summers sealed a 4 goal win for the Zebras.

Ricky Morris with 4 goals was the Dolphins best. Shaun Pollard did an excellent job on Nick Sautner. Paul Rebeschini and Toby Conroy also tried hard.

Despite the loss the Dolphins remain in 6th position with a 2-2 record. Next Sunday the Dolphins head to Williamstown for what should be a big Mothers Day clash with the game beginning at 2pm.
