GLEN Orden have scored its first win for the season after defeating Albanvale at Heathdale Oval by 40-points on Saturday.
The first quarter saw the Cobras hopeful they could stay in the contest as they led by two points heading into the first break.
However it was one way traffic after the break, with Glen Orden taking control of the match causing Albanvale to play catch-up football for the rest of the match.
The gap continued to widen as the match went on, with the margin getting bigger in the final quarter thanks to the Hawks scoring five goals to none.
Ange Messina was the Cobras sole goal-kicker, kicking four.
Hawk Troy Smith also booted four goals for the match.
Glen Orden had six other goal kickers on their team, including William Old, who booted two.
Talented Hawks player Fredrick Supatan was able to keep control of the play, and continue to move the ball into their forward line.
Supatan ball movement was critical in their win, he was clearly one of Glen Orden’s best players.
The Hawks were all smiles when they left the field after their win, eager to sing their club song for the first time in 2016.
