The Bombers were aggressive early laying eight tackles in the first four minutes.  That pressure generated two early goals.

Dyson Heppell was prominent early with six possessions, a goal and a goal assist in the first 15 minutes.  He continued to spend time in the forward half in the second term, adding a second classy goal.

Shaun McKernan gave the Bombers the advantage in middle.  He led the hit-outs (14-8) midway through the second term and booted a goal.

Michael Hurley has been strong in defence.  He had six intercept possessions in the first half.
