AJAX recorded their third-straight victory of the season, defeating PEGS by 26 points. The Jackas brilliant first-quarter meant it was always going to be hard for PEGS to catch them, and despite three goals to PEGS at the start of the second quarter to tighten the margin, AJAX continued to apply pressure and in particular had an explosive third quarter.
Jack Fenner kept his strong form going with three goals for PEGS, whilst Justin Vogel, Dov Paltiel were best on for AJAX, and Richie Simon starred with five goals. This win sees Ajax only 1.52% out of first position as they look to cement their place up the top of the ladder of their new grade, whilst PEGS sit in sixth spot with the one win to their name.
Round 4 should create some breathing space on the ladder with two teams remaining undefeated, and two teams yet to register a win.
Kicking off the weekend, AJAX host Glen Eira/Old McKinnon at Princes Park in Caulfield. Whilst this game might not seem overly enticing on paper, it is early days and Glen Eira will be looking to replicate some of their fantastic form from Division 1 last season to challenge one of the best sides in Premier C.
