Four-goal Nicholes leads Langy charge

31 Aug, 2010 01:00 AM
LANGWARRIN trounced Malvern 8-1 at Lawton Park on Saturday, giving it a slim chance of a top-two finish heading into the final two rounds of the Victorian Football Federation 2010 season.

Caleb Nicholes scored four for Langy, which, after a slow start, took control of the match to go 3-0 up at the break.

Vincent Bontemps, Matthew Durand, Simon Mur and Chris Driver also scored for Langy, which is among seven teams vying for the two promotion spots.

Frankston Pines remains a slim chance of avoiding relegation, sitting four points behind Southern Suburbs with a game in hand.

Pines' match against Dandenong City was postponed following the referee's concerns about water on the Monterey Reserve ground.

In State League division 3, the Peninsula Strikers went down 2-1 to Brandon Park.

Matt Pearce scored for the Strikers, who have trailed off in the second half of the season.

The word is that playing coach Billy Armour will not be at the helm next season.

Also in division 3, Mornington remains an outside chance of securing three consecutive promotions after defeating Springvale City 2-1 with Jamie Patterson and Stevie Vernon the scorers.

Mornington faltered when it went down 1-0 to second-placed South Springvale in a catch-up game on Wednesday night.

Skye United is in a good position to win promotion in the Provisional division 2 competition after accounting for Whitehorse 8-4. Mauro Cordoma, Cristian Espinoza and Charles Di Petta all scored two for Skye and Victor Villela and Frank Dimu got one each. Seaford continued its charge toward the premiership in Provisional division 3, defeating Old Trinity 3-1, with Biret Agirtan scoring two and Alex Halikias one.
