SAINTS GET OVER RUN IN SECOND HALF AS BOMBERS BOUNCE BACK

Round 4 was the ECAFL's "Call to Arms" charity match to raise money for Men's cancer research. As in the AFL it was the Bombers taking on the Saints in a pivotal match. The game saw a host of fresh faces added to the line-ups and after a tough first term it was the ladder leading Saints who had skipped away to an 11 point lead on the back of two goals to Sam Heath. The Bombers readjusted the match-ups for the second term and began the task of working their way back into the match. Bomber Daniel Barker began to look dangerous up forward and a 5 goal to 1 term had the Bombers back in front by 15 points at the main break. The second half was all downhill for the Saints as the Bombers midfield stepped up. Darrin Haverhoek, Daniel Barker and Nico Pouessel working well and being well supported by Lachy through the corridor. An injury to Saints ruckman Matt Wood further exposed the team as the Bombers piled on 16 goals to 3 in the second half crushing the ladder leading team to the tune of 96 points. Bombers 23.8 (146) defeated Saints 8.2 (50). Goals - Bombers: D.Barker 7, D.Haverhoek 6, N.Pouessel 4, L.Trumble 2, G.Bretiere 2, Guilliame 2. Saints - M.Wilson 3, D.Wilson 2, S.Heath 2, M.Wood 1. On behalf of the club we would like to thank Sam Heath who played his last match, and also to Dani Anderson who raised over $800 for the Call to Arms charity.
