Bet 365 had a Pines’ win at $4.50 fixed odds on the morning of the clash between State 2 visitor Epping City and its State 3 host at Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve.
Those odds were snapped up by punters and tumbled throughout the day with Pines eventually starting a firm odds-on favourite.

THE topsy-turvy relationship between Dave Greening and Somerville Eagles took another twist last week when the club appointed him senior player-coach for 2021.
The peninsula goals king with nine league Golden Boot awards to his name was re-appointed last week for his third stint as player-coach.
He resigned from the role last June but recent changes at the club played an important role in his return.
Close friend Stan Packer stepped down as senior coach earlier this month and took over as director of coaching and he supported Greening’s return as did club president Luke Mulder.
