North Wagga get back to winning ways with 35-point victory over Temora

The Saints ensured they kept up the pressure on the Farrer League top three with a 12.10 (82) to 7.5 (47) victory at McPherson Oval.

After a slow start against Marrar last week, North Wagga were explosive early against Temora with 11 scoring shots and a five-goal opening term.

North Wagga coach Cayden Winter was happy to see a response.

"I feel like we rectified last week. We put an emphasis on our first quarter, it wasn't up to scratch last week but the way the boys responded this week was good," Winter said.

"We had a fair few injuries this week, so the boys came in, played a role and definitely stood up and it was good to watch."

Joe Morton shone for Temora and was well-supported by Jack Cullen and Liam Sinclair.
