KEY Boort defence cog Keiren Wilson will be available for selection when the Pies tackle Donald in North Central football this Saturday.
Wilson escaped suspension with an early guilty plea to striking a Nullawil player last weekend in a match that saw Boort surrender a six-goal quarter-time lead.
Boort started strongly with a favourable wind against last season’s runners-up. The Pies also booted accurately in their best single quarter display this year.
But that commanding lead was wiped away by the main break. Defenders Wilson and Austin faced increasing pressure as Nullawil put on eight goals in the second term.
There were chances for Boort in the third quarter - five scoring shots for no goals while Nullawil was able to register one major and be up by four points at the final break.
The close checking of both sides in that penultimate quarter gave way to more opportunities at goal in the final term.
The shoot out had honours going to Nullawil in an nine-point win. Fitzpatrick, Byrne and Dick was among the best contributors for Boort, their efforts across the midfield crucial in keeping the Pies within striking distance of  their opponents.
Frasier Holland, originally on the bench, was the top goalkicker with three along with James Keeble.
Nullawil is half a game and percentage outside the top four.
Boort’s next assignment is against the third placed Navies.
