Brayden Hull was LBU’s leading goal-kicker in a comfortable win over Huntly in the Heathcote District Football League.

After an inconsistent opening three games, Lockington has found a new level recently, as the Cats entered the away clash with the winless Hawks chasing a third straight win.

LBU started well at Strauch Reserve, holding Huntly goalless in the first quarter while kicking two majors of its own, with the one knock being five behinds as inaccuracy prevented a bigger early lead for the Cats.

The second term was much more competitive as the Hawks dialled into the match, booting their first three goals, but a more clinical LBU still edged the quarter with another four majors, leading 6.7 (43) to 3.4 (22) at half-time.

Huntly continued to improve as the match wore on and matched LBU’s output to begin the second half, with both sides kicking 3.3 in the third quarter.

The Cats making the faster start proved the difference as the final term was again tightly contested, Huntly and LBU both booting two majors as the latter ended up maintaining its solid lead built during the first half, running out an 11.12 (78) to 8.7 (55) winner.

LBU has the bye this weekend, which arguably comes at a bad time given the disruption to its strong form, with the third-placed Cats currently on their longest winning streak since a run of five straight victories between rounds eight and 13 in 2023.
