Two Wells travelled to Virginia Oval on Saturday to take on arch rival Virginia. The game was played in wet and windy conditions which were the complete opposite to the Round 2 clash which the Rams won a high scoring match by 26 points. Both sides came in to the match with 3 wins and 3 losses, with the winner to cement a spot in the top four. Two Wells made two changes for match, Lee Allmond and Kahn Leighton were out with hamstring injuries and were replaced by Adam Humzy who was resuming from injury and former Port Adelaide Magpies league footballer Alf Steed who was making his debut for the Roosters. Virginia kicked to the scoreboard end in the first quarter with the aid of the breeze and were leading 2 goals, 6 behinds to no score at quarter time. The Rams went into half time with just an 8 point lead and the match was set an exciting second half. Two Wells set up the win in the third quarter by keeping Virginia goaless and kicking 4 goals of their own including a huge bomb from outside the 50 by Paul Christofis. Two Wells ran out winners by 14 points and banked two important premiership points. In tough conditions for forwards, Rams spearhead Bredan Niklaus was well held by Roosters captain Scott Humphries kicking only two goals. In the Round 2 clash Niklaus kicked 9 goals and was clearly the difference between the two sides, a game Humphries missed through injury. Virginia travel to Hamley Bridge next saturday to take on the much improved Bombers in a must win match if they want to remain in touch with the top four. Two Wells have the next two Saturdays off due to a bye and the June long weekend Landmark Cup at Kadina. After winning the last three matches Two Wells faces there biggest match of the season in Round 10 against regining premier Mallala at home. Mallala have been the best side for the past three seasons and will be a real test for the Roosters, a side they havn't beaten since round 13, 2006.
