Denley played competition-leaders Millthorpe twice in the same weekend, with no less than 17 goals scored during the two matches.
Denley’s Nick Hyndes opened the scoring in the Saturday game at Redmond Oval but Roy Davis was quick to level. Tigers forward David Wells weaved through the Denley defenders to make it 3-1 by half-time.
Davis showed his class soon after the break to make it three and Millthorpe started to dominate.
There were a flurry of late goals as Tigers held on to win 6-5.
Denley picked where they left off against MIllthorpe with the Sunday match at ‘Stadium Brabham’.
Four goals from striker Harley Smith and one apiece from Nick Hyndes and Richie Shields saw Denley notch a 6-0 win.
In the round’s other match Barnstoneworth United came back from a goal down to beat Gladdyatahs 2-1.
A well-placed volley from Wayne Gersbach opened the scoring for Gladdies. Some athletic defence from Andy Bobbin saw United’s Wes Miller come down in the box. The resulting Andy Holmes penalty shot came off the post to bounce off the back of diving keeper Troy Campbell and find the net.
Barnstoneworth took the match with a second penalty from a Gladdies hand-ball, Andy Holmes making no mistake.
