Well it was Round 1 of the Mid North Coast Junior AFL season and the RIVERBREEZE U/14 WAUCHOPE KANGAROOS travelled up to Kempsey to take on the Macleay Eagles. With a lot of new blood in the team and not much training due to the inclement weather of recent weeks we weren’t sure how the team would work together. Kicking with the aid of a strong northerly Wauchope soon opened their account when Jamie slotted one through. With Kade, Kate and Matt repelling everything from the backline and Scott, Ray and Zak controlling the centre, the Roos built a good quarter time lead. The second quarter saw the Eagles fight back, and with the aid of the breeze pretty well matched it with the Roos. Trae, Bryce, Jaydon pushed the tempo in the third allowing the Roos to go into the last break with a commanding lead. With Josh, Cameron and Taylor rotating through the forward line, and some excellent passages of play and ball delivery the Roos kicked away in the last to record a first up win.
Final Score Wauchope Kangaroos 8-19-67 defeated Macleay Eagles 2-3-15
Goal scorers for the Roos: Jamie Williams 5, Josh King, Kate Baker & Trae Cole 1 each.
Best on Ground Josh King
