Cobram Roar’s Division 3 Men continued their positive form, with a 4-1 victory against Albury United on Sunday.

Early goals from Ian Goodin and Gokhan Tanrikulu helped Roar settle into the game well, with the team welcoming back Matt Shurgold following an injury layoff into a defensive midfield role to provide confidence in front of a defence missing the two regular centre backs.

The second half started similarly to the first, with another early goal to Ian Goodin to make it 3-0, his extended break overseas having no impact on his fitness and eye for goal on his return.

Cobram’s fourth goal was added in the 61st minute by the ever-determined and battling Vince Nicosia in front of his enthusiastic family support.

United managed to pull a goal back in the 67th minute, but it was purely a consolation goal as Roar saw out the match to cement themselves in finals contention with five games to go in the regular season.
