IT was an April Fool’s Day to forget for Portland in the Hampden Football League on Saturday, with the seniors defeated by Warrnambool 21.18 (144) to 4.7 (31) at Hanlon Park.

The Tigers were on the backfoot early on in the round one contest, trailing by 20 points at quarter-time, but were still well and truly in the contest with the game far from over.
