PENSHURST has retained the top spot on the Mininera and District Football League (MDFL) ladder after taking care of business against arch-rivals Glenthompson-Dunkeld at Penshurst Recreation Reserve on Saturday, 17.14 (116) – 5.7 (37).

The two teams came prepared for a scrap and the first half was an arm wrestle as only 11 goals were kicked in the opening two quarters by the teams, with the home side holding a 21-point lead at the main break.
