The Magpies were made to work extremely hard in the first half against their plucky opponents but managed to chalk up a 21-goal win to remain second on the Goulburn Valley League A-grade ladder.
Tatura came out firing in the first term at Memorial Oval and cranked up the heat on the second-placed Magpies.

Goaler Karly Wappett was a standout all day, helping lead the turnaround after half-time.
