The Central Blues also were in good from after knocking over the Hamilton Wildcats by 8 goals last week so the AFL Ontario tipsters were expecting a close game. Bright sunny skies and the finish of the well attended Aussie X kids program greeted both teams for the 1st Friday night Roos home game.
The Div 1 boys have gotten off to some cracking starts over the the last few weeks and were hoping with the warm weather and a good crowd that would continue. And continue it did with Ash Cannan, Justin Harris and Brett Connell taking care of all things in the middle providing the forwards with more ball than they knew what to do with. Goals came from Bigley, Haesler 1 each and Connell with 2. Roos leading by 26 points at the 1st break after good defence from the back 6.
The Blues weren't looking the team that had beaten Hamilton just 6 days earlier as the roos stretched their lead to 48 points at half time with goals to Roberts Sears, David Trotter and Justin Harris. The backline had the better off their opponents keeping them to 2 points for the half as Bridson, Langner, Lovett, Chambers, Sargent, Jacobs and co all were finding plenty of the footy and repelling all the Central Blues attacks.
With the game almost in the bag, some positional changes were made to strengthen the club. Players learning to play new roles so the flow of goals was thought to slow down but to their credit they rolled on with 5 for the 3rd term. Bigley and Trotter kicked their 2nd, Connell his 3rd and Jeff Wingrove and Cannan their 1st for the day. Roos by 72 points.
With the sun starting to settle in behind the trees and the heat of the day being replaced by a cool gentle breeze the boys took a breather and a fairly even 20 minutes of footy ensured. Goals to Haesler his 2nd and Connell his 4th were to hit the scoreboard as the roos went on to win by 84 points.
Next Friday night the undefeated Etobicoke Kangaroos play the top of the ladder Broadview Hawks in a heavy weight clash that will bring in a big crowd for another installment of Friday Night footy at Humber South.
