After plenty of trash talk in the lead up to this huge ‘top of the ladder clash’, the Rosellas powered away from their Cockatoos club-mates and maintained their unbeaten record with a very impressive win, 19.6.120 to 4.6.30. Neither side held anything back in a hard fought game played in great spirit. The Rosellas played some very good running football and their teamwork was excellent, while the Cockatoos boys kept working hard right to the final siren.
Club mascot and icon, Big Bird was in a quandary over which team to barrack for, so he settled for polite applause for goals kicked by both teams rather than his usual exuberant celebrations whenever Cheltenham kicks a goal.
