Matty Stewart and JeromeWhiteley both kicked 4 goalsfor the Roos with Josh Smith,Mitch Kenney and Dean Kasper amongst the best, in the 92 point win.

The main game was a much anticipated one, as it was a very important game for both Clubs. Bracknell to keep their finals chances alive and Deloraine for two reasons.

The first, to stay up in the top two and, secondly, the huge milestone of Club captainBradley Crowden playing his 250th Senior game.

Brad ‘Bub’ Crowden has been the captain of the senior team for the past 5 years and has been a true leader both on and off the field over many years.

The game was very up and down with The Roos being up at half time by 20 points. Bracknell clawed their way back after half time wit scores level at 3/4 time.

The last quarter was all Deloraine, with the boys really stepping it up and playing great team footy, running out 39 point winners.
