And last year’s premiership side made sure that the visitors knew who was in charge, making a statement with a 48-point lead over the Hawks at the close of the first term.
A behind in the last stages of the second term was little consolation for the embattled Barooga outfit, which felt the pain as The Road ended the third quarter up 157 points.
There was no reprieve to the misery as Congupna went on to bag another four goals in the fourth term.
But The Road wasn’t without its own share of frustrations, with inaccuracy in front of the big sticks seeing the result at the final siren reading 28.21 (189) to Barooga’s 0.1 (1).
The best players for Barooga were Thomas Barker, Kris Bextream, Kane Rattray, Jayden Geisler, Ned Higgins and Jake Murphy.
Reserves
The day was no easier for Barooga’s reserves outfit, who, despite a second-term consolation major, went down to its Congupna counterparts by 188 points, 31.12 (198) to 1.4 (10).
Barooga’s best players were William McNamara, Ryan Tranter, David Trenerry, Brandon Mison, Sam Poole and Beau Trenerry.
It was a special day for Barooga’s David Trenerry, who had the chance to play in the reserves side with his three sons Will, Noah and Beau for the first time against Congupna.
