Harvey-Brunswick-Leschenault's disastrous opening to the 2011 South West Football League season continued on Sunday in the form of a 82-point loss to the Eaton Boomers at Glen Huon Reserve.

After suffering a spanking at the hands of South Bunbury two weeks ago the sluggish Lions were again outclasses at the hands of a young Boomers side who did as they pleased for most of the afternoon.

Kicking into a slight breeze the visitors were swamped in a six-goals-to-one first quarter, and never recovered.
