SAINTS DIVINE AT VARLEY OVAL

In local Aussie Rules, it was a tough weekend for the two Tamworth sides.

The Kangaroos fell at home to Gunnedah, and the Swans copped a hiding in Inverell.

From the opening bounce, the Saints gained control of the midfield.

Inverell needing a big win to have any chance of catching the top two.

Full forward Chris Whitton starring for the home side, with nine majors.

His team’s 216-point victory, the competition’s second largest winning margin of the season.

While the Swans three points was the lowest total of 2017.
