Bunyip upstage Noble

Bunyip was the only local club to taste success in round 17 of the men’s State League 5 South competition.

A three-goal second half sealed a 4-0 win over Noble, with striker Walid Benzina finding the back of the net twice in a dominant display.

Five yellow cards were given in a hot contest, but Bunyip will be rapt to come away with the win, its second over a top-three opponent in as many weeks, having beaten Rosebud 4-2 last week.

The wins have propelled Bunyip, which won just five of its first 15 games, to seventh on the table and just a point behind fifth-placed Endeavour Hills.

Casey, meanwhile, was outrun by Aspendale, which scored thrice in the second half to record a 4-1 victory.

Pakenham will be disappointed it put in a poor showing in a winnable game against Mount Martha, going down 7-0 in a clash against a side that started the round below them.

Second-placed Seaford came from behind against fifth-placed Endeavour Hills, which finished the game with 10 men, to win 2-1.
