A physical 3-1 home win over Twin City was an important one for the side, with an action-packed second half proving the difference.
At half time the scores were one apiece, with Anthony Corso’s 40th-minute goal cancelled out by a 45th-minute Twin City penalty.
Things soon changed in the second half with Florian Dambricourt scoring a 55th-minute penalty, before a returning Jack Dovey doubled the Roar’s lead three minutes later.

Dovey’s goal left the scores at 3-1 and that was how it remained, with a late Spiros Vourgaslis red card the only downside to the result.
Roar coach Vince Iannucci said it was a very physical contest.
“I suppose we just grinded through it, we probably took a stand in the end,” Iannucci said.
“At the end of the day a win’s a win, we’re not going to knock that on the head, we won fair and square.
“We’ve played Sunday, Wednesday and Sunday, so the boys are a bit sore and sorry at the moment.”
The win sees the Roar sit in second place on the ladder on goal difference.
The side will take on the Boomers away from home this week, with Iannucci hoping for a more football-focussed contest, as opposed to the two physical battles of the past two weeks.
Sunday’s game will kick off at 3pm in Glen Park, Glenroy.
