Roosters dominate
MID way through the 2024 Hampden League season, South Warrnambool continues to dominate.
The Roosters put on a big show at Reid Oval last Saturday in their round 14-fixtured clash with cross-town rivals Warrnambool.
The win made it 10 from 10 for the side, who now sit top of the ladder and three games clear of the second-placed North Warrnambool Eagles.
While the remaining Hampden League sides enjoyed an interleague bye last weekend, the Roosters and Blues met at Reid Oval on Saturday afternoon.
While the Roosters dominated the opening quarter, the Blues fought back in the second to get within seven-points at the main break.
However, the Blues’ scoring opportunities were limited in the second half, contained to an additional three points before the final siren.
Meanwhile the Roosters were solid in attack, adding 8.11 to the board for the half.
Final scores were South Warrnam-bool 14.16.100 to Warrnambool 5.7.37.
Best for South were Jay Rantall, Riley Thomas, Shannon Beks, Myles McCluggage, Sam Thompson and Patrick Anderson.
Best for the Blues were Finn Radley, Anthony McCarthy, Lochie Worden, Jackson Bell, Austin Steere and Taylem Wason.
South’s Open netballers also dominated, chalking up win number nine for the season with a 58-30 goal victory on the weekend.
Best for South were Emma Buwalda, Carly Watson and Kimora Calloway while for the Blues Eva Ryan, Matilda Fitzgerald and Dakota Crichton all played well.
