LONGFORD leapt a game clear of Bridgenorth with a rollicking 92-point win over SCOTTSDALE.
Tyler Towns kicked the game's first goal from a strong contested mark but it was all Longford from thereon as the home side kicked the next nine of the game.
Lachlan Dakin was a huge presence in the Tigers' forward 50 and kicked two goals in a minute midway through the second and fourth quarters en route to a career-best haul of six.
Rohan Lester and ruckman Geoff Mohr worked tirelessly but the Magpies were unable to combat Longford's fast-paced, running brand of football and slumped to a 17.12 (114) to 3.4 (22) defeat.
BRACKNELL spoiled Deloraine's 125th anniversary celebrations by holding on 7.15 (57) to 7.2 (44).
