WINGER Jaxon Addlem is quickly cementing his place as a key player in Bears Lagoon Serpentine’s senior side.
The East Loddon Rams product was crucial in Saturday’s victory over Maiden Gully in what was a game of turnovers.
He was a crucial link between a half-back line where Josh Taig was superb in the first half and the forwards.
The opening quarters saw Anthony Robins, Grayson Brown, Mitch Hill and Mathew Crooks keep Maiden Gully in the hunt. The Eagles trailed on the scoreboard but were making a real first of the challenge.
Their defensive zone work was tested but they held Serpentine assistant coach Josh Mellington to just six goals for the day as he returns from injury.
Serpentine extended the lead at each break and ended up 60-point winners. 
At Mitiamo, Newbridge came from behind in the final quarter to win by nine points.
Billy Schilling kicked four goals for Newbridge who were also well served by William Copland, Jed Zimmer and Tyler Constable while Mitiamo coach Luke Lougoon was again best for his side.
Pyramid Hil dominated the second half of its match against Inglewood who kicked nine goals straight before registering six behinds.
