KPR Progress through Canale Cup
Monday, 20th Feb

Kangaroo Point Rovers progressed through the first stage of the Canale Cup with a comprehensive 1-0 victory over perennial big spenders Narangba United.

Without up to 8 regular first team starters, a Barry Comer inspired rovers outfit easily disposed of the northerners. Ciaran Lawler, Mark Lynch, Niall O'Carroll were all made to watch while their international clearances finalised, and Sam Pullen, Joshua O'Grady, Simon Fraser, Pablo Paleaz and Keiron O'Connor were all unavailable with work.

In what was the first proper hit out for the Kangaroo Point lads, coach Adrian Elmes was happy with the outcome. "We could have grabbed a couple more, but for a bit of unlucky finishing, and lack of combinations caused by so many new faces in the side" Elmes said.

Expecting most or all of these players back for the crucial 2nd round fixture this weekend against an experienced Samford outfit on their own turf will give the rovers outfit the extra fire power they need to progress into the final 32 in the cup.

Playing in their new away kits, both teams afforded comfortable victory's, 4-0 in reserves via a superb Damian Kealy hattrick and 1-0 in top team.

Its the second week in a row that both teams have recorded clean sheets, and the pressure is starting to loom on coach Adrian Elmes to pick a regular first grade keeper with both lads performing exceptionally.

The goals on the weekend were dedicated to our injured lads Keith White and Alan Smith. Alan is unlikely to return this season with a season ending ACL injury.

Man of the Match was Damian Kealy in reserves and Maurice Gamble in first grade.
