It didn\u2019t happen as the Tigers matched them goal for goal with a point the difference at the last change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Lancefield edged ahead, then Riddell hit the front as tension rose on and off the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>A couple of decision blunders proved costly as Riddell tried to wrap up the game; the Tigers fought back and scores were tied as the clock tipped down. A point put the Tigers ahead, and under intense pressure in the last minute they hung on for a memorable 11.10 (76) to 11.9 (75) victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Michael Conlan, Cameron Osmond, Zack Webb and former Riddell U19.5 leading goalkicker Jack Radford all managed two goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In a real team effort, best players listed were Lukas Fellows, Conlan, Osmond, Radford, and Lachlan Giles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Lancefield had not beaten Riddelll previously since 2010, and 250-gamer and former captain Matt Bowden had never previously played in a winning side against the Bombers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>For the Bombers, the irrepressible Dylan Tarczon (four goals) was best with Tommy Alkemade, Trent Stead, Hadyn Ross, Jesse Horton and Bryce Williamson also listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Riddell coach Justin Belleville would have been disappointed with his side\u2019s inability to shake off the Tigers at such a crucial stage of the season, with a match against Wallan at Bomberland this Saturday.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/R-footy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/R-footy-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/R-footy-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/R-footy-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/R-footy-2-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/R-footy-2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/R-footy-2-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Tension time: A couple of minutes to go, and the anxiety level was high around the Riddell coaches\u2019 box as the Bombers strived for a winning score against a tenacious Lancefield.
