TRARALGON’S Latrobe Valley Soccer League sides have thrown down the gauntlet for the 2016 season with impressive victories in their respective round one clashes.
Traralgon City snagged a late winner through substitute Jordan Walton to defeat Monash 2-1 away from home, while Olympians held off last year’s runner-up Sale United 3-2 at Harold Preston Reserve.
The new-look Pegasus made a winning start to the campaign with a 2-0 victory against Tyers, Churchill knocked over Trafalgar 2-0 and Newborough Yallourn United beat a plucky Fortuna 4-2.
The only blowout of the round was Moe’s 11-1 thumping of East Gippsland United.
Round two will be held next fortnight, after the Labour Day long weekend, while the first round of cup matches take place this week.
