Carrum Patterson Lakes made it four away wins on the trot when they picked up the four points against the battling Kangaroos at Widdop Crescent Reserve.

Fears of a blowout were realised early when the visitors took a 44 point lead after the opening 20 minutes of action. Whilst the goals kept coming afterwards, there were periods of play where the Roos were able to hold their own and others where it was a training drill for CPL. The Lions forwards feasted all game with Rohan Bleeker, Tyler Neal and Alex Wilson all doing plenty of damage in front of the big sticks. Kristian Harper also continued his ripping form with six goals in a best on ground performance.

Rory McIvor proved to be the match winner for Hallam with his five goals guiding his team to victory.
