Jubilation as the Bombers beat Burnie by 5 points

The crowd were on their feet and the players were ecstatic when the siren sounded which saw the Bombers have a great win over Burnie by 5 points.

The Bombers got off to a great start with Allan O'Sign kicking two quick goals. Burnie responded with 4 goals and at half time the Dockers lead by 1 point. Their lead increased to 13 in the third quarter, but the boys rallied in the last quarter with Darren Crawford kicking a brilliant goal after gathering it from the Centre, and Paul O'Shea taking a strong mark and goaling to increase the lead. Burnie were not going to give up and a goal narrowed the margin to 3 points. The bombers fought on kicking a further two points. The final five minutes of the game had everyone on the edge of their seats; it was a test of fitness as both teams fought hard for the ball. This is an excellent win for the team as we head into the second half of the season.
