Weekend SWFL wrap up

Bunbury continued its red hot start to the season, beating Carey Park by 38 points in the fourth Nani Family Cup at Payne Park on Sunday.

The Bulldogs were led by full forward Marc Re who kicked five goals in the 14.10 (94) to 8.8 (56) victory.

Eaton bounced back from a scare against HBL in round two with a comprehensive 27.16 (178) to 6.7 (43) thrashing of Augusta-Margaret River at Glen Huon Oval.

Leigh Kelly kicked 10 for the Boomers, repeatedly outmarking his opponent in a very open Hawks forward line.

Chris Atthowe was also among the home side's best, marshalling the Eaton backline and also venturing forward on occasion to kick two goals of his own.

A late goal from David Faulkner halted a furious fourth quarter rally by Donnybrook to hand the Bulls a 15.7 (97) to 13.2 (80) win at VC Mitchell Park.

Harvey dominated the first three quarters but were lucky to escape with the victory after the home side's late surge.

On Saturday, the Collie Eagles maintained their perfect home record with a 12.7 (79) to 7.10 (52) victory over a scrappy Harvey-Brunswick-Leschenault.

Small forward Tony Mirabella was the difference between the two sides, kicking seven goals and providing the kind of reliable target up front that was missing for the Lions.

Tiger Brett Robinson headed a hard hitting South Bunbury unit on Saturday night at Sir Stewart Bovell Park defeating the Busselton Magpies 13.6 (84) to 10.5 (65).

Robinson booted three goals and produced a dominant four quarter performance that was vital to the Tigers win.
