HILL End at home had been a tough place to secure premiership points in recent years.
But in season 2023, clubs have come and gone with victories being taken far easier than what Rover’s coach Mike Santo would have liked.
The weekend was no different with Fish Creek claiming a comfortable win.
“It was a positive result for us on the weekend, a tough day conditions wise for us to get our game going in full flight but the guys stuck at it and showed when we can get the game on our terms, we can look pretty good. Hill End forced us into some bad habits at times and when given time and space could move the ball smoothly,” said Jarrod Walker, Fish Creek coach.
The conditions may have been testing for any silky football to be shown, but even the Kangaroos had the Rovers measure despite the home sides best efforts.
“They were Sloppy conditions, but we were outclassed by a well organised fish creek side,” Mike Santo, Hill End coach said.
“Our effort was good but I’m Getting sick of saying that ! We need to be better with our execution of game plans and basic skills.
“We believe we have winnable game next week at Mirboo, we will prepare accordingly and hopefully we will show up ready to play.”
Even though winless, each week Hill End provide a side that has to be respected, there is evidence enough that unlikely results can happen at any time.
But to date the Rovers have not found themselves on the right side at games end.
