In the first home game of the season, Corowa Rutherglen C Grade Roos faced off against the Wodonga Bulldogs, resulting in a hard-fought victory for the Bulldogs.
The Roos entered the game with their characteristic high work rate but quickly found themselves facing an uphill battle as they struggled to find their rhythm in the first half. Despite facing a strong side, the Roos never gave up or lost their ability to refocus each quarter.
The versatile Jemma Smith looks to move the ball to the Roos’ goal end.
After halftime, the Roos were able to penetrate the formidable Bulldogs’ defence, however, it wasn’t enough to bridge the margin.
