Kangaroos get another

The Sunbury Kangaroos got their third win of the season, while Rupertswood and East Sunbury both suffered losses in the Essendon District Football League.

The Kangaroos had to fight hard against Coburg Districts to get the win in their division 2 clash.

Scores were level at quarter time and then the Kangaroos led by three points at quarter time. There was still nothing in it at three quarter time with Coburg Districts leading by a point.

Three goals to one in the final quarter was enough for the Kangaroos to get the win, 11.8 (74)-9.9 (63).

Andrew Siekai kicked three goals for the Kangaroos, while Thomas Eiszele kicked two.

Shawn Bowden and skipper Mitch Streiff were named their best.

The Kangaroos now sit 3-1 with a bye this week.

Elsewhere in division 2, East Sunbury had a tough match against Burnside Heights.

After sticking with the Bears in the first quarter the Thunder were blown away, with the Bears winning 25.20 (170)-5.6 (36).

Sean Egan was the only multiple goal kicker for the Thunder with two goals.

He was named in their best along with Simon Colllis and Joshua Crump.

The Thunder are one of three win less teams after four rounds. It faces another of the win less sides this Saturday in Glenroy.

In division 1, Rupertswood fell just short of a second win for the season.

Facing Oak Park, the two sides had a back and forth tussle all day.

The Sharks led at both quarter and half time, before Oak Park took a 10 point lead into the final break.

That lead would be the difference in the end, with Oak Park winning, 15.1 (100)-13.9 (87).

Clayton Bonello kicked four goals for the Sharks.

Ethan Fitzpatrick and Brett Martin were named their best.

The Sharks, who sit in eighth spot, face Craigieburn this week.
