The thirds had a convincing win despite being down on numbers. They started off strong in the midfield getting the ball down the forward line quickly.
An 11 goal first quarter set up the win, which everyone contributed to. The Roos forwards hardly missed all day and the back line stood tall, only conceding one goal.
Thanks to the fourths who stepped up, all played well and contributed to the scoreboard.
Final score: Rovers 29.15 (189) to Yarroweyah 1.0 (6).

It’s well worth arriving early to watch the fourths and thirds who are the future of our club and who have both been playing a great brand of footy.
Plenty of run and sharing the ball makes it a very team orientated game and a credit to players and coaches.
