OH WHAT A NIGHT!
The Kangas took on East Sunbury for The Local Cup, Sponsored by the Local Bottle Shop, Goonawarra, and the Roo boys didn’t disappoint. In front of a packed house, the Kangas demolished their newest crosstown rivals by 75 points under the bright-ish council supplied lights. It was a very tight affair for most of the first term with neither team scoring a major until the 18 minute mark. The game then opened up, The Baddeley brothers kicked 3 between them, Big Bogut goaled from a Devils freekick (666), and Kilty popped one through the big sticks, giving the Roos a handy 27 point lead the first break. The Kangas continued their domination, keeping East goalless in the 2nd term and extended their lead to 50 points at the main break. The second half saw much of the same, Easts trying to play catch up footy against a bigger, stronger Kangaroos.

The Roo’s 2’s opened their account with an emphatic win over East Sunbury. The first half of the game was a close encounter, seeing the Kangas go in to the main break 12 points up.

A great turnaround for the 2’s after last weeks loss.

ROOS TAME LIONS
The Senior Women bounced back from last weeks narrow defeat to destroy another crosstown rival, Sunbury Lions. Elisha Green needed the SPF50+ as the only thing she had to stop all day was those harmful UV rays. Tara Mckean dominated the ruck contests giving the Roo girls first use of the footy on most occasions, with the usual suspects of Dekazos, Said and Co, delivering into to the forward line better than Australia post into your letter box. The Kangas winning by 89 points.
