MARTIN Pike may have played in four AFL premierships but things aren't quite as easy for him now he's wearing a coach's hat in the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League.

Pike's Hastings remains winless after two rounds. It copped a little bit of a touch-up in its season opener and yesterday was pipped by Seaford at home by three points, 11.11 (77) to 10.14 (74).

Chelsea's goal-scoring spree continued yesterday against Karingal as it crushed the visitors by 97 points, 21.14 (140) to 6.7 (43). Mount Eliza cruised to a 37-point victory against Pines, 16.11 (107) to 10.10 (70). Last year's runner-up Frankston YCW scored its first win for the season with a 43-point win over Edithvale Aspendale, 14.15 (99) to 8.8 (56).

Mornington lost to Bonbeach by 34 points yesterday, 16.14 (110) to 11.10 (76).

In the MPNFL Casey Cardinia division, premier Doveton defeated Narre Warren 18.4 (112) to 14.11 (95).

Berwick yesterday went down against Pakenham, 16.21 (117) to 17.9 (111).

Keysborough is on top of the ladder after humbling Beaconsfield yesterday and Rythdale Officer Cardinia is second after serving up a 146-point belting to Dingley.

In the Bendigo Football League, Eaglehawk's Phillip Lobb slotted nine goals yesterday to help his team crush North Ballarat City.
