The Shepp Notre Bears responded from last week’s thrilling loss at the hands of Shepparton United by doling out a 230-point defeat over Wandong in the under-16 competition.
Bears’ spearhead Alex Whitlock was dynamic with an 11-goal haul, while Ryder Dudgeon, Archie Daniel, and Lewis Boswell were prominent.
Elsewhere, Shepparton Swans also continued its strong start to the season, notching its third win courtesy of a 17.17 (119) to 2.2 (14) triumph over Alexandra.
Zayd Gibson (four goals), Levi Duffy and Lloyd Akers shone for the second-place Swans, setting the stage for a promising season ahead.
In a round of blowout results, the Shepparton United and Kyabram clash stood out for its momentum swings.
After a sluggish start left them 19 points behind at quarter-time, the Bombers roared back to life, unleashing a blistering seven-goal blitz in the second quarter to snatch the lead.
However, through the efforts of Addison Godsmark, Zaine Atkinson-Mcguinness, and Jarrah Atkinson (three goals), the Demons fended off Ky’s assault to claim a 21-point win and go 3-0.
In other results, Tatura were 72–33 victors over Seymour, Echuca Bombers notched a 216-point win over Moama, while club mates Echuca Murray Bombers were commanding against Tongala in a 117-26 win.
