OFA 2026: Timm House on fire with seven-goal haul as premiers Gnowangerup clinch victory at Boxwood Hill

Timm House starred again for defending premiers Gnowangerup, bagging seven goals in their 20-point defeat of Boxwood Hill in the Ongerup Football Association.

House was unstoppable after his eight-goal effort last week in their 60-point thrashing of Newdegate.

House continued his exploits as the Bulldogs’ Anzac Round win on Saturday at Boxwood put them level with ladder-leaders Jerramungup with two wins, but having played a game more.

The margin might have been greater but for the Bulldogs’ 18 behinds, with the Bombers only a single major down come the final reckoning.

The visitors took the game 10.18 (78) to 9.4 (58).

A busy first quarter saw both sides nail two goals but the Bulldogs started cranking up the behinds, bagging seven for a six-point advantage.

It was again the single-pointers which separated the sides in a competitive second quarter where both teams bagged four majors.

Four more behinds gave the visitors the lead by 10 points at the major break.

The Bombers took the initiative after half-time to reduce the margin to seven points but three majors in the final term got the Bulldogs home with a bit to spare.

Bodean Morton, Murray Haywood and Harry Milne were the Bulldogs’ other scorers.

Rohan Vaux, with four majors, did the bulk of the Bombers’ scoring.

Jacob Hemley, Marley Phillips and James Dewar were the main contributors for the Bulldogs while Matthew Bowen, Harry McLeod and Nic Bertola battled well in a losing cause for the home side.

The other contest ended with a runaway win for Lake Grace-Pingrup over Newdegate.

Lake Grace-Pingrup rattled in 14 majors at Newdegate to clinch victory by 60 points.

It was their first win of the season and leaves them fourth in the ladder, equal on points with Boxwood Hill but well adrift on percentage.

They triumphed 14.13 (97) to 5.7 (37) with Justin Joyce, Harris Regan, Leighton Smith and Reece Walton playing starring roles.

Regan booted six goals for Lake Grace-Pingrup with Jack Carruthers adding two more.

Dean Rintoul managed two goals for the Lions.

Round four sees table-toppers Jerramungup back in action at home to Newdegate, while Lake Grace-Pingrup host Boxwood Hill.

Gnowangerup have the bye.

Jerramungup have made a scintillating start to the 2026 season, thumping the reigning premiers in round one and then cleaning up Lake Grace-Pingrup by 145 points in round two before their bye in round three.
