EDFL

The Sunbury Kangaroos chances of staying in Essendon District Football League division 1 took a massive hit on Saturday. Facing Moonee Valley in a clash of the bottom two sides, the undisciplined and inaccurate Kangaroos were made to pay, losing 17.14 (116)-8.18 (66). The win means the Kangaroos sit bottom with three rounds remaining, a game and percentage behind Craigieburn. Rupertswood continued to keep the pressure on the top four, with a 17.7 (109)-14.6 (90) win against Craigieburn. The Sharks sit fifth, percentage outside the top four.
