Roosters forward Riley Flute is caught by the Ivanhoes defence at Smithfield on Saturday.
After leading 18-10 at the break, Ivanhoes crossed for three tries in the final 20 minutes to wrap up the weekend win. Many errors made it a hard night for the Roosters, who struggled to hold the ball in attack, allowing Ivanhoes to enjoy a glut of possession throughout.
Ivanhoes also secured the win in the reserve grade, 32-0, and the under-19 match, 42-18. The senior Roosters host Kangaroos in four grades from 1.30pm this Saturday at Atherton's Mungalli Creek Dairy Stadium.
