From the first bounce at Nagambie Recreation Reserve, it was all Lancaster, with the visitor nailing seven through the middle, while holding the Lakers to just two of their own.
While the host added another pair of majors in the second period, the Wombats wouldn’t be denied — kicking a further 4.2 to jut their lead out to 44 at the major break.
Nagambie continued on the steady path, but Lancaster wouldn’t allow them to get much more than a couple of goals, despite having a less-than-ideal 1.4 third term, its lead cut marginally short to 40 with a quarter to go.
Despite a lull in the third term, the Wombats found their groove again down the stretch, bagging a highly efficient 6.1 to ice the game, despite the Lakers getting three of their own.
Lancaster’s 18.10 (118) to 9.5 (59) was spearheaded by the goal kicking antics of Nicholas Ryan (4) and Charlie McLay (3), while Riley O'Neill, Thomas Davies, Cameron Simpson, Coby O’Neill, Adam Lovison and Shannon Fleming were the Wombats’ best.
The 59-point ousting keeps Lancaster in second on the KDL ladder behind the Murchison-Toolamba juggernaut, and with the Wombats returning home to face struggling Undera, they should continue to hold their positive position in through round 12.
