SWFL Round 11 wrap

South Bunbury consolidated its place in the top three with a hard-fought 22-point victory over the Collie Eagles at Hands Oval on Sunday afternoon.

The Tigers led by 12 points at half-time but their midfield got on top in the third term to push the margin out to more than five goals at the final change.

Souths forward line was spacious and dangerous with Guy Piggott, Dylan Harper and Leigh Kohlmann all kicking three goals in the 14.8 (92) to 10.10 (70) win.

Wes Lammie (shin) limped off early in the first quarter and, despite trying to return to the field briefly, spent the rest of the game on the bench.

The Eagles were led by Adam Bignell, Matt Blackford and Alex Tweedie, who took several important contested marks.

At Glen Huon Reserve, the Eaton Boomers produced a 12-goal-to-nil second half to down the Harvey Bulls 18.15 (123) to 4.6 (30).

Leigh Kelly and Jacob Ferrier finished with four goals each for the Boomers, who had led by only 15 points at the long break.

Bunbury’s Mark Re slotted a late set shot from 40m at Payne Park to pinch a two-point win over Augusta-Margaret River and keep his team’s slim finals hopes alive.

Hawks’ sharpshooter Tim Noakes looked to have sealed the points for the visitors when he booted two final term goals, but it was not to be.

Bulldog Jordan Adamson-Holmes was swung into the midfield in the second half and was a major contributor for the Dogs in the 9.8 (62) to 9.6 (60) victory.

On Saturday, Busselton moved into the top three after a 35-point triumph over Donnybrook at Sir Stewart Bovell Park.

The Magpies led by seven points at half-time but Donnybrook added only three goals after the long break as the home side ran away to score a 13.11 (89) to 8.6 (54) triumph.

Carey Park got back on the winners’ list with a 16.7 (103) to 9.13 (67) victory over Harvey-Brunswick-Leschenault under lights at Brunswick Oval.
