Tungamah kicked with the aid of the breeze in the first quarter and made every post a winner kicking 8.1 to Rovers 2.3.
Tungamah were very efficient going forward and scored on most occasions when the ball went into their forward line.
The second quarter was much better with Rovers attacking incessantly to add 5.7 for the quarter.
The scoreboard could have looked much better if the accuracy in front of goal was better.
As it was, the large margin at quarter time had been reduced to 10 points at the long break.
Tungamah dominated play in the third quarter, although some determined defence restricted the damage and it was Tungamah's turn to kick points rather than goals.
The last quarter was reasonably even with a two goal to three scoreline, but the final scoreline showed a comfortable 44 point victory to Tungamah.
The last two weeks have been a real learning process, and the team really need to bounce back this week when they travel to Mathoura.
Better players were coach Alex Hay and Cam Wills who provided chances out of the centre, Brendan Hope, Liam East and Rowan Frazer who tried hard to stem the tide in defence and Tom Dowling who did well on a wing.
Goals were evenly spread with Tyson Willis, Alex Hay, Jackson Muldoon-Leetham and Jai Ezard kicking two each.
Final score: Rovers 9.15 (69) Tungamah 17.11 (113).
Goal kickers: Tyson Willis 2, Alex Hay 2, Jackson Muldoon-Leetham 2, Jai Ezard 2, Josh Flight.

Reserves:
The reserves continued on with their good form and recorded their fifth win for the season.
Tungamah are traditionally a strong reserves side and the first quarter was a very even affair with neither side being able to establish superiority.
However, Rovers were able to gradually kick clear although kicking 1.9 restricted the final winning margin.
The defence was very good all day and their disciplined efforts meant that Tungamah were only able to kick one point for the entire game.
Better players were Taj Payne, Jack Pekin (five goals), Nick Stubbings, Adam Bodey, Daniel Mison and Matthew Johnson.
Final score: Deni Rovers 10.15 (75) Tungamah 0.1 (1).
Goal kickers: Jack Pekin 5, Brodie Elphick, Tim McDonnell, Aden Bermingham, Matthew Horne, Scott Howard.
Best players: Taj Payne, Jack Pekin, Nick Stubbings, Adam Bodey, Daniel Mison, Matthew Johnson.
