AFTER two close losses in the opening two rounds of the season Coburg finally notched a win with a one-goal victory over arch rivals Box Hill at Highgate Recreation Reserve on Saturday.

In another tight and see-sawing match the Tigers trailed the Hawks by five points at the first break but fought back to reverse this to be in front by five at half-time.

PORT Melbourne coach Gary Ayres said his team had shown plenty of "Borough spirit" to defeat Northern Bullants by five points in a pulsating contest at TEAC Oval yesterday.

Forward Adrian Bonaddio kicked only two goals but inspired Port in the third term with one of his trademark booming kicks from outside 50 to kickstart a five-goal onslaught.

FRANKSTON footy fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Ben Cousins on Sunday.

The AFL star will line up with the Coburg Tigers against the Frankston Dolphins at Frankston Park, along with fellow banished Richmond players Daniel Connors, Dean Polo and Luke McGuane.

The phones have been running hot at Frankston Football Club over the past few days as fans seek confirmation that Cousins will be in action.

Dolphins officials are bracing themselves for a bumper crowd and have ordered twice the usual amount of beer and food.

"We’ve ordered a heap more," Dolphins coach Simon Goosey said.

"I reckon we’ll get a few thousand (people) here. Heaps have rung up."

Goosey said it was likely a young Frankston player - either Mark Baguley, Mitch Bosward or Michael Hibberd - would tag Cousins.
