A LUCKY mark to Josh Jenkins metres from goal started the Sea Lake Nandaly engine in Saturday’s North Central league clash against Wedderburn at Donald Park.
The Redbacks had left Sea Lake staggering and struggling to get a rhythm for the opening 20 minutes.
Coach Tom Metherell had two early goals on the board, defender Danny Benaim was more than a headache when the Tigers tried to push play deep and Jordy Hargreaves was making a real fist at the bounces.
Wedderburn’s tackling was ferocious and the wet conditions looked to be suiting Metherell’s troops.
Then came the masterclass from Jenkins, pushing Jake Hayes away from incoming play and then turning back for the mark.
It passed the umpire’s test and Jenkins had Sea Lake within a kick of lead.
Sea Lake followed up with immediate success - Matt Elliott chipped to Adam Pattison and the Tigers were ahead by two points at the break
The second quarter started with both teams “soccerooing” to get the ball into their forward 50 
Wade Donnan showed Sea Lake supporters what was to come with a massive punt from half-forward through goals in the first of three Tiger majors for the term.
A more dominant performance came after the main break. Sea Lake put on 5.3 in the third quarter while pickings were more than slim for Wedderburn with a single behind.
Joe Lockhart, Jayden Jones and  Mitchell McEwen were named as Wedderburn’s best with the experienced Lowry, Benaim and Metherell also making the cut.
Wedderburn has the chance of rede1mption against Charlton this Saturday.
It will also be important for a solid victory if the Redbacks are to keep their hopes of a top four finish alive.
Charlton has yet to win a game this season but has shown the hunger to challenge and test higher placed sides. Wedderburn will need to bring its A game on Saturday.
