OAKLEIGH played host to Melbourne High School Old Boys at a windy Southern Reserve on Saturday.

The visitors snagged another goal that sealed the match, 13.6 (84) to 9.13 (67)

Ash Kitts and Steve Doherty were among Oakleigh's best with Kitts and Lee Barrand kicking two goals each.

The under 19s were on the receiving end of a 113-point trashing by Old Mentonians. Tim Doherty, Jack Hind and Joel Costigan were among Oakleigh's best.

The Club 18 lost to Ormond by 34 points and are yet to open their account. Wayne Plaukovitz kicked two goals for the Oaks with Paul Malcolm and Dion Perry among the best.
