THE country came to the city for the VFL match of the day yesterday as regional powerhouses Bendigo and North Ballarat locked horns at Windy Hill, with the Ballarat side prevailing by 13 points.

A strong cross-ground breeze made precision football difficult, but in a lively first term, Kangaroo rookie Michael Wundke stamped his presence on the game up forward with two early goals. Grant Weeks was just as good for the Bombers but failed to convert his opportunities on the scoreboard.

Although North Ballarat held an early advantage, Bendigo had most of the play. However, the Bombers were not as constructive and lacked drive from the back line.

A POWERFUL three quarter-time spray from Williamstown coach Brad Gotch was enough to inspire the ladder-leaders to a gritty 14-point win against Frankston at Burbank Oval yesterday.

Gotch was disgusted at his troops inability to win the contested ball as Frankston took a 14-point lead into the final term and looked like inflicting Willy with just its second loss of the season.

But Gotch\'s words hit the right buttons as the Seagulls, aided by the work rate of David Stretton and Western Bulldogs utility Jarrod Harbrow, piled on five unanswered goals to win 18.13 (121) to 16.11 (107).

"I don\'t rev them up too often, but I was just disappointed with their attitude at three-quarter time," Gotch said.

"They were really down on themselves and we were only 14 points down so I just asked for a little bit more.

WILLIAMSTOWN held top position on the VFL ladder with a hard-fought 14-point victory over a spirited Frankston at Burbank Oval yesterday.

The Seagulls looked sluggish early, with the Dolphins kicking seven goals to three in the first term through hard running and midfield pressure.

With Jason Cloke being well held by Dolphin captain Shaun Pollard, it was left to Dean Galea to provide a target for attacking backmen Malcolm Lynch and Jarrod Harbrow, who were instrumental in their side\'s eight-goals-to-three second quarter.
