ROSTREVOR Old Collegians are making their mark in the Norwood Hotel division 1 competition, rising to the top of the ladder on the back of an 11-goal win over Port Districts at Campbelltown Memorial Oval.
Former Gold Coast-listed player Jacob Gilbee was one of the chief destroyers in front of the big sticks with four majors along with Heath Commane, who also added four of his own.
However, it was ROC clearance machine William O’Malley, who was named best on ground.
This week, they face Modbury which might consider itself unlucky after going down to Adelaide
University by less than a kick last week.
Brayden Denmead continues to impact the scoreboard and added four while Jake Philips was their best contributor.
I expect the midfield depth of Rostrevor to be the difference in this encounter.
St Peter’s failed to open their account in round six going down to Paynehan Norwood Union by 23 points despite the best efforts of Harry Hayward.
The Saints won’t find the going any easier hosting Tea Tree Gully after the northeast side suffered its first loss of the season, when Goodwood downed it by two points despite having eight more scoring shots.
Dylan Schoenmakers was outstanding with five goals in a best afield display.
After Port District’s aforementioned disappointing display they are in danger of falling out of the top five if it can’t turn a slump around this week against Prince Alfred Old Collegians.
The Reds were in control all day despite a late scare from Salisbury North.
Brock Castree kicked five while Lachlan Mcnamara was their best player.
The Reds are starting to look very dangerous and I think they can come away from Largs Reserve with the points.
Salisbury North had a first half it would rather forget kicking just one point.
But will be buoyed by a tremendous second-half fightback that was led by Ben Wiles.
After being eight goals down, the Hawks lost by seven points.
This week they face the Falcons.
Matthew Nye relished the freedom of a move up forward and was the catalyst in PNU’s return to form.
The Falcons have players returning from injury and might pinch an away win.
Adelaide Uni’s narrow win came on the back of Matthew Langridge and midfielder Will Paynter hitting the scoreboard with four goals.
Uni hosts Goodwood, which inflicted the Gullies’ first loss mainly due to Travis Tuck and his four goals.
The Saints host of stars might be tough for the Blacks to handle and I expect Goodwood to get the chocolates.
