In what was always bound to be a tough match-up for the Bombers, Huntly walked away with the chocolates despite L-G leading at half-time.
L-G led at both breaks in the first half with the Hawks staying within striking distance and marginally cutting down the lead throughout.
The third term is where Huntly began to take flight, not only catching up to the Bombers but creating a five-goal lead at three-quarter time.
Despite its best efforts, L-G wasn’t able to catch the Hawks who won the day 51-48.
Looking ahead, L-G will attempt to get over the top of Mt Pleasant in round 12.
Lockington-Bamawm United v Mt Pleasant
Looking for their first win of the season, the Cats travelled to Toolleen Recreation Reserve to battle the Mighty Mounts.
In one of its stronger matches of the season, LBU fell tantalisingly short of overcoming Mt Pleasant, losing 49-43.
While the loss would’ve stung the Cats can be buoyed by the fact they came so close to toppling the third-ranked team.
Things won’t get any easier for LBU as it will face undefeated league-leader Colbinabbin in round 12.
