Murray Bombers hot flag favourites in lower footy

The Murray Bombers finished the year with a crushing 207-0 victory over Mooroopna.

The side is now potentially just three wins away from the flag, that campaign beginning with a qualifying final this Saturday.

A late start at Rochester Recreation Reserve will see the Murray Bombers battle Kyabram from 3.15pm.

Echuca has won the previous meetings by 28 and 21 points respectively.

Under-18

Echuca’s thirds are in a similar position, also perfect 18-0 and also coming into finals off the back of a dominant final round win over Mooroopna.

The Murray Bombers cleaned through the Cats 15.12 (102) to 4.6 (30), and now head into a qualifying final with Shepparton Bears.

The previous meeting resulted in a 27 point Echuca win, but the Bears will be hoping to kick better than the 2.12 they posted in that game.

The match will also be held in Rochester on Saturday, starting at 1pm.
