Round 4 kicked off on Saturday with the Magpies unbeaten run ended by the previously winless Kangaroos. On Sunday the Hawks and Dogs ended their clash with scores level and the Hawks wishing they had kicked a little straighter.  For all the details read on.

 BOMBERS TOO STRONG FOR THE CATS

A strong start from the Bombers kicking 6 straight goals in the first quarter to set up their win. Kaison Tatum was in devastating form in the first quarter taking strong contested marks and kicking 3 majors. Tango Hubert continued his recent good form for the Bombers competing strongly in the forwards, both in the air and on the ground. To the Cats credit they fought back hard after their slow start and kept close to the Bombers eventually going down by 22 points.
 
Trent Depaune was solid all day with 16 disposals, 5 marks and 2 goals. Pilo Dagiaro and Shawn Kemp Maaki also contributed with 16 disposals each and kicking goals. But the Bombers middle brigade led by Agir who had a game high 23 disposals and 8 marks and German Grundler who collected 20 disposals and 2 marks, controlled the game maintaining the lead they had established in their 1st quarter blitz. Tipung Kamtaura played mostly in the ruck and clearly won the battle of the rucks. Johnny Dagiaro and Daniel Daniel were also important for the Bombers, collecting 18 and 15 disposals respectively.
 
Mick Vorback was solid in defence with 15 disposals and 4 tackles. The Bombers now head to the last home away match next week in a top of the ladder clash against the Magpies, in what should be a classic encounter.

KANGAROOS HOP ALL OVER THE MAGPIES IN UPSET WIN
If someone was to say that the Kangaroos will get up to win after trailing the undefeated Magpis by 5 goals in the last quarter, you would be excused to think that it was an April fools joke. But it was no joke. The Kangaroos awoke like a sleeping giant, kicking 8 goals in the last quarter to hop all over the Magpies and score an amazing win. Roos forward Joeson Kanimea caught fire in the last and was unstoppable. The Magpies  threw everything at him but he played like a man possessed taking 8 marks and kicking 5 goals in the last quarter to clinch the win.
 
Roo recruit Deamo Baguga provided great leadership for the Roos with his constant talking and encouragement of players. His quick long kicks into the Roos forward line enabled Joeson to be isolated in one on one contests. Charles Dagiaro was at his damaging best picking up 24 disposals, 6 marks and kicking 1 goal. Comeback kid Marcus Paul Detenamo, played an important role chipping in with 3 goals.
 
As for the Magpies, they would be dirty with their poor last quarter after having controlled the game for the first 3 quarters. Dave Mwaredaga with 23 disposals, Kenneth Oppenheimer 20 disposals, 9 marks and 2 goals, Mal Batsiua 20 disposals and 4 marks, Kazaam Baui 17 disposals and 10 marks, Bagewa Detudamo 17 disposals and 3 marks and Yoshi Harris with 15 disposals, 6 marks and 2 goals were their main contributors. Young defender Tama Jeremiah also played well in defence. But the day belonged to the rampaging Roos who caused the upset of the season so far as they hopped all over the Magpies, in a barnstorming finish. Great win!

HAWKS AND DOGS IN A THRILLER
Few people would have given Hawks a chance after their abysmal effort last week, but it was a different Hawks team that ran onto the field on Saturday to take on the Bulldogs. After an even 1st quarter, the Hawks came out firing in the second kicking 5 goals to the Bulldogs 2. Issel Daniel led the way kicking 4 goals in the second. In the 2nd half the Bulldogs hit back as the game tightened up. In the last quarter young Bulldogs forward Jarlik Agir kicked 3 goals as the Bulldogs pressed hard. But Issel Daniel stepped up again with crucial goals to wrestle back the lead. In the dying minutes with scores level, both teams went in hard to break the deadlock but time ran out.
 
Hawks young star Jeremiah Kam was again fantastic for the Hawks taking 5 intercept marks and collecting 18 disposals. Another young Hawk star Darnel Diema was also brilliant with game high 26 disposals, 4 marks and kicking a goal. The skillful Hawk Darby Rodiben picked 16 disposals and 2 marks while Ruckman Jencke Jeremiah won the ruck duel against Lennox Agege, picking up 17 disposals, 10 marks, 10 hit-outs and kicking a goal. For the Bulldogs, Renato Hubert played his best game for the season picking up 14 disposals, 6 marks and kicking a goal. Niga Haulangi was busy as usual with 20 possessions, 8 marks and 2 crucial spoils in defence. Dontello Moses was also important with 16 disposals and 8 marks.
