Cobram Roar FC are hitting their best form at exactly the right time of the season, producing another impressive performance with a commanding 5-0 victory over Boomers FC.

The win marked the Roar’s fourth consecutive victory, with Cobram continuing an outstanding run of form. Across those four matches, the Roar have scored a remarkable 26 goals while conceding just two, highlighting the strength of both their attacking threat and defensive organisation.

"Hopefully the boys continue to put these performances together against some tough opposition in the next few weeks heading into finals and build on this win."

Another clean sheet was a key highlight, with Cobram’s defensive structure continuing to provide the platform for their attacking success as they build towards finals.

The Roar now face their biggest challenge of this impressive run, travelling this weekend to take on second-placed Myrtleford. Cobram will be looking to even the score after a heartbreaking Round 8 encounter, where Myrtleford secured victory in extra time.

With confidence growing and momentum building, Cobram will enter the clash knowing they are a much-improved side since their previous meeting and will be eager to test themselves against one of the competition’s leading contenders.
