MAIDEN Gully has been credited with all four wins in its dismal Loddon Valley Football League season, according to the latest senior ladder published online Wednesday afternoon by the league.
The Eagles started the season 12 premiership points in arrears after league sanctions for not fielding an under 18 side for a third season.The Eagles were also fined $10,000 with half suspended for a year.
The Loddon Herald understands therehad been legal talks since the decision on the eve of the 2024 season.
Wins in round one by 12 points over Calivil, three points over Mitiamo in round three and round 13's 57-point point victoryagainst had only only squared the official ledger. The following week's one-point win over Inglewood had the Eagles in positive territory for the first time this year.
However, while Maiden Gully now draws even with Inglewood on 16 premiership points, a poor percentage of 44.24 leaves the Eagles mired in eight spot on the ladder.
No statement has been issued by either the league and Maiden Gully who have both beencontacted for comment.
