CONTROVERSY AND RAIN FILLED ROUND 2

The Bombers finally opened their win account against the Saints in a match that had all the Halmarks of a theatre production. Down at half time, up at three quarter time the Bombers seemingly trailed in the closing minutes kicking three consecutive behinds. As the siren sounded for full time confusion reigned as the Saints thought they had taken the win by a solitary point. On official review of the scoresheet an error had been made, five minutes after the final siren the Bombers were awarded the four premiership points with a three point win. Bombers 8.8 (56) defeated Saints 8.5 (53)

Game two would be just as ferocious. The Power led early with excellent run out of the centre. A shot on goal that hit the post Power spearhead Cam Beaman was reviewed and awarded a goal, the Power holding on in the horendous conditions for a 7 point victory. Power 6.5 (41) defeated Bombers 5.4 (34).
