NORTH Ballarat arose from an unwanted slumber to steamroll Werribee Tigers by 51 points in the Victorian Football League at Eureka Stadium Ballarat yesterday.
The Selkirk Roosters strayed from their usual strict work ethic after an energetic start to let the struggling Werribee make the running.
It was not until after the Tigers hit the lead late in the second quarter and a reminder from coach Gerard FitzGerald at half-time about what had put them on top of the ladder after five rounds that the real North Ballarat re-
emerged to win 13.23 (101) to 6.14 (50).
Werribee was restricted to 2.3 in the second half.
"We were very good early,'' FitzGerald said in reference to four goals in the first 15 minutes of the day.
