After a tough trip to Terrigal Avoca the week before, the Roosters put in a strong performance however were unable to match their opponents eventually going down 15.9.99 to 2.5.17.
Strong defence from Singleton restricted Newcastle City to just three goals at half-time but the tough couple of weeks took the toll on the understrength Roosters.
Alex Kidd was outstanding in the ruck in his first game for the Roosters with Brandon Quinn, Sam Brasington and Cameron White others to play well.
Newcastle City 1.3, 3.7, 9.7, 15.9 (99)
