THE Western Victoria Female Football League staged round six of its 2024 season with three one-sided games that were won by the favourites.
Hamilton Kangaroos made a statement against Tyrendarra at Pedrina Park on Friday night, with a near perfect performance to win, 13.12 (90) to 0.1 (1), with only the goal kicking letting the side down slightly.
Both teams started the first term fiercely contesting the ball at every stoppage, with the home side posting the first goals of the game to lead by 15 points at quarter time.
From then on it was all one-way traffic, as the Roos added another 11 majors for the game to hold down second spot on the ladder.
Caroline McGrath, Hinemoa Biddle-Maitland, Sophie Rentsch, Elise Thurman, Leah Mirtschin, and Emma Lynch were named the Blue and white’s best.
AFTER claiming its maiden victory last round, Cavendish was brought back to earth with a thud, as South Warrnambool had little more than match practice, winning 22.20 (152) to 0.
The Roosters sit atop the ladder undefeated after six rounds with the Bloods in fifth, despite the best efforts of Juliet Parsons, Bella Meulendyks, Hannah Nichols, Laura Downes, Drew Garratt, and Abbey Wilson.
Juniors
THE ROOSTERS made it two wins from the two games at Cavendish Recreation Reserve when the club opened the day with victory in the Under-18 match, 16.10 (106) to 3.9 (27).
The game was over by half time with the visitors ahead by 50 points and the Bloods yet to post a major, but Leayla Pohl, Georgie Harris, Matilda Brook, Drew Garratt, Abby Thompson, and Marli Blohm battled hard all game.
Cavendish fought right through the final term to kick two majors and keep the Roosters in check in the last quarter.
PORTLAND took the points in the Under-15 game on Friday night at Pedrina Park, despite the best efforts of Hamilton Kangaroos to come from behind in the second half, winning 5.3 (33) to 1.0 (6).
Daphne Brinkmann, Taya Sherlock, Georgina Russell, Mikela Pohl, Anika Pohl, and Clementine Blackwell were the Roos’ best with Russell kicking the only goal.
