Jack Avent and Brad Cox-Goodyer had telling impacts on the end result with impressive second-half displays as the Bombers overran Lauderdale.

Avent claimed the three votes, with Cox-Goodyer taking two and Tom Bennett getting one vote for his four goal effort.
Kingborough's Ben Donnelly was recognised for his efforts in defence against Clarence with three votes as the Tigers won in front of their home fans.
Tigers' midfielder Eddie Cole continued his terrific start to the year which has seen him average 24 possessions and 10 clearances across the opening nine rounds.
Clarence's Sam Green picked up one vote to avoid a Tigers' clean-sweep after being one of his side's better performers.
