Sides in the under-16 first division passed the halfway mark at the weekend, with Tatura taking out the second-versus-third clash against Shepp Notre-Bears Maroon by a goal.

The Bulldogs’ 10.10 (70) to 9.10 (64) result lifts them within four points of ladder leader Shepp Notre-Bears Gold, which dug out a 13.7 (85) to 10.7 (67) victory over Kyabram.

Shepparton United, one of four sides stuck in a mid-table logjam, also remains in the finals race.

The Demons scored a 33-point win over Echuca Murray Bombers, while the club’s sister outfit, Echuca Bombers, defeated Shepparton Swans 11.8 (74) to 7.8 (50).
