TWO Wells put its round one indiscretion behind it to romp past Virginia by 77 points in Adelaide Plains A-grade football on Saturday.

The Roosters were stripped of their two premiership points from their round one victory over Balaklava after they were found to have fielded a team that exceeded their Allocated Player Points  Allowance for that game.

However, that didn’t hamper the reigning premier as it surged to a 21-point lead at quarter-time against Virginia on the weekend.

The Rams clawed their way back into the contest in the second quarter and cut the deficit to 15 points at the main break.

However, the dam wall eventually broke, and the Roosters booted 10 goals to one after the main change to run out with a percentage-boosting win.

Caleb Edmead slotted five majors, and Luke Barnett chipped in with three.

For the Rams, Brendon Niklaus slotted two as the only multiple goal-kicker.

Two Wells coach Neville Seccafien was satisfied with the victory, particularly after tight second and third quarters.

“It was pleasing considering it was an arm wrestle for most of the day,” he said.

“We had a bit more leg speed and fitness over them,”

“The second and third quarter in the rain, I thought we handled it well.

“We had some good clean hands in that last quarter.”

Seccafien was delighted with his players, in particular Bryce Hart who has stamped his authority on a midfield position.

“Bryce played in the middle, he’s in there because Aaron Dart is injured and he’s relishing the freedom,” he said.

“Ty Hocking was very good and we left him up forward a bit more rather than on the ball.

“Luke Barnett was back, the Eagles released him to come back, he played a forward role and through the middle.

“Shannon Slattery has been good all year, he and Lee Staple probably broke even on the day.

“Staple got on top in the first half, and Shannon levelled the ledger.”
