League Review | Leitchville Gunbower ended its winless run in senior footy as it scored a one-point victory in its first match of the 2022 Bendigo Bank Heathcote District Football Netball League season on Easter Saturday.
The Bombers took on Huntly in the Hawks’ nest at Strauch Reserve in round two, but week three of the season. It was the Hawks who made a flying start to the contest and led 25-7 at quarter-time.
The Tim Bannan-coached Bombers fought back brilliantly to score 5.1 to 3.2 in the second to be within seven points at half-time. Led by the play of Josh Hawken, Jobee Warde and forward Blake Azzopardi, Leitchville Gunbower charged to a 10-point lead at a quarter to go.
