Souwest Jets continue search for first win of the season after loss to Roar

The Souwest Jets have recorded their third loss of the season after a tough 33-57 defeat from Western Roar at Eaton Recreation Centre on Saturday. Roar, who were heavy favourites going into the game, got off to a strong start pushing out the margin to 10 points before quarter-time. The Jets toiled hard but could not keep up with Roar as the second quarter followed a similar pattern and left the score difference at 16 at the main break. The third quarter was more competitive, with the Jets fighting back slightly in the late stages. Despite the effort it was not enough. Roar were able to keep pushing ahead to the final whistle to keep their unbeaten record this season alive. Jets’ Rylee Hall was the top scorer for the game, sinking 23 goals from 27 shots. The Jets stay at the bottom of the ladder, still searching for an elusive win along with the Peel Lightning in seventh. In the under-21 division, the Jets could nO’t get a win on the board either, also falling to Roar 58-40. Similar to the seniors game, Roar were able to get ahead early with a 12-7 first quarter and did not look back. The Futures team played out their penultimate game of the season, falling agonisingly close to a win against the Warriors. Despite trailing by eight goals at half-time, the Warriors fought back, eventually taking the game 50-49. The result leaves the Jets in fifth, with three wins and three losses. All three teams will play again on Tuesday.
