A red-hot Luke Tapscott fired off six goals as Sorrento all but secured a second consecutive minor premiership on Saturday.

The Sharks kicked five goals in as many minutes in the third quarter to break away from Mornington, eventually winning 13.10 (88) to 7.12 (54) at Alexandra Park.

Tapscott was unstoppable, capping the display with a left-foot snap that sailed over the top of the goal umpire’s hat.

The Lachlans — Williams and Wallace — starred for Frankston YCW in its all-the-way win over Mt Eliza, 8.6 (54) to 5. 6 (36), at a muddy Madsen Reserve. The Stonecats’ forward lne continued to function well, with Paul Minchington and Lachlan Street kicking two goals apiece.

A four-goal haul by Jarrad Grant set up the Frankston Bombers’ 21-point win over Edi-Asp at Greg Beck Oval. The former AFL forward combined well with Jack McMillan (three) and Jake Batchelor (one). For Edi-Asp, Trent Robertson and Michael Bussey were best.

Dromana clawed its way to a four-point win over Bonbeach, with Terry Wheeler turning in a best-on-ground display.

The Tigers also benefitted from the lively work of Ethan Johnstone (three goals), Josh Bateman and Sam Fowler. Billy Quigley, Will Geurts and Zac Muschialli also impressed.
