RILEY STUARTBunbury Herald

South Bunbury overcame a three-quarter time deficit to defeat Carey Park at Hands Oval on Sunday - the Tigers' fourth straight victory.

Panthers' full forward Matthew Martin booted four goals while Braden Lawler, Tim Yarran and Arron Hill were also standouts for the visitors.

South Bunbury were led by Matt Giacci, Corey Rota, Damon Bull and Braden Piggott.

At Glen Huon Reserve, a stellar second half helped the Eaton Boomers beat Bunbury to remain the competition's only unbeaten side.

The Bulldogs surged to a 17-point lead early in the second quarter before Eaton turned on the afterburners, kicking seven goals to two after the long break to claim 14.9 (93) to 8.9 (57) triumph.

Augusta-Margaret River shook off a determined but undermanned Harvey Bulls to eventually record a 95-point victory at Gloucester Park.

Tim Noakes kicked 10 goals in a best on ground performance, while Cody Miller was also brilliant in the 24.15 (159) to 10.4 (64) win.

Captain David Faulkner led from the front for the Bulls, while Aaron Jetta was also outstanding with five goals.

On Saturday evening, a late goal to Alex Tweedie delivered the Collie Eagles a dramatic three-point victory over Donnybrook at the Collie Recreation Ground.

The lead changed three times in the final term in a physical and scrappy contest with the Eagles holding on to win 9.14 (68) to 9.11 (65).

Busselton slammed on six goals to one in the second term to set up a 15.13 (103) to 11.11 (77) win over Harvey-Brunswick-Leschenault under lights at Sir Stewart Bovell Park.

The Lions had trailed by 53 points at three-quarter time but finished with a flurry, booting eight final quarter goals to make the scoreline more respectable.
