Tough day at the park for Roar women

Despite some promising link-ups between Roar skipper Alyssa Iannucci and Emma Reuss, Cobram struggled to come up with an answer to the Heart’s continued onslaught.

A strike off the boot of the Roar’s Laura Moras almost found the back of the net late in the second half, but the ball - along with any Roar hopes of a consolation goal - was knocked emphatically away by the Heart goalkeeper.

The final whistle saw the scoreline 4-nil to the visitors.

Despite the loss, Roar coach Manny Artavilla saw promising signs of progress from his young side.

“We’ll keep on working on positioning, and keep progressing the girls so getting them into a senior mindset rather than a junior mindset,” he said.

“It’s about making sure everyone’s working together, which I don’t think we’re doing well at the moment.

“There are glimpses, but still, like I said, it’s a work in progress.”

The seventh-placed Roar faces eight-placed Albury United at Jelbart Park after the Easter break.
