Diggers Rest was left stunned after being left goalless in the top of the table clash with Riddell in the Riddell District Football League on Saturday.

The Burras headed to Riddells Creek to face Riddell, with the sides sitting one and two entering the match.

It would be all one way traffic in the favour of the Bombers.

The Bombers led by nine points at quarter time and it was 34 points at the main break, with the Burras having scored just a point in each quarter.

It didn’t get any better for the Burras in the second half as the Bombers continued to pile on the goals on the way to a 14.10 (94)-0.3 (3) win.

Jordan Theodore and Ryan Mullen were named the Bombers best.

The Burras remain in second spot, but are now two games before the Bombers, with Wallan now only one game behind.

Elsewhere, Melton Centrals fell short against Woodend-Hesket at Gilbert Gordon Reserve.

The Hawks shot out to a 37 point lead in the first half.

Centrals started to work their way back into the game in the second half, but the lead was too great, with the Hawks winning 7.7 (49)-4.8 (32).

Caleb Higgins was the only multiple goal kicker for Centrals with two goals.

Jake Armistead and Jacob Thornton-Gielen were named Centrals’ best in the loss.

Centrals remain second bottom but are now two games behind Woodend-Hesket.

The other winners were Romsey and Wallan, while Kyneton had the bye.
