With the half time ledger reading 16-3, from the outside, it looked like a bloodbath.
Yet every Tocumwal goal was applauded like a thunder clap, and as the Blood reds walked into the final break 22-7 down, by the crowd noise alone an upset would not have been the strangest thing to occur on the day.
However, Deniliquin stood taller across the board and with the added height of a rangy defensive combo, the Rovers ran home comfortably to put the blue and whites on the winners’ list.
Rovers’ rocket Nina Glowrey was bestowed best on court, capping a storybook morning for the club.
