THE Western Region Football League under-15s came up short again, but the 14s may have unearthed a new forward star in a mixed weekend of results in the Victoria Metropolitan Junior Championships.
The 15s remain winless after round two, going down by 26 points to South East Junior Football League 4.12 (36) to 8.14 (62).
Despite leading by a point at quarter-time, the 15s could scrounge only three goals for the rest of the match.
Charlie Vague held his own kicking two goals, while Lochlan Allen, Jake Romeo and Brandon Davies were the best of the Western brigade.

Meanwhile, the under-14s notched their first win in the competition by easily accounting for SEJ by 41 points, 10.12 (72) to 5.1 (31).
It could have been a much bigger win, as the 14s enjoyed 22 scoring shots to six in a lopsided encounter.
The 14s were slow out of the blocks as SEJ held a five-point buffer at the first break, before they snatched back the lead to hold the advantage by a solitary straight kick at half-time.
But through Matthew Knezevic with five majors, the WRFL kicked clear in the final quarter, keeping the opposition scoreless. Harrison Rocke, Nicholas Buykx and Luke Beddoe were among the best.
The WRFL 15s and 14s played the Eastern Football League on Monday at Walker Park.
