The boys had a strong first quarter.
Ollie Dellwo, Jimmy O’Connor and Nate Fitzpatrick worked hard in the midfield, linking up well to get the ball down to the forward line.
The majority of the play was in the Rams’ forward 50, and there were big celebrations when Rupert Maslen kicked his first goal of the season.
After that, the Rams were leading 20 to 0 at quarter time.
Tongala changed their tactics, tagging some of our followers, and came within one point just before half-time.
It was an even third quarter, but the Rams finished the game off well with some quality contributions from several bottom age players.
