SWFL women’s 2022: Bond kicks 150th as South Bunbury defeat Dunsborough Sharks at Hands Oval

A seven-goal masterclass from Bethany Bond, which included her 150th SWFL career goal, has seen South Bunbury defeat Dunsborough by 90 points.

Bond and the Tigers dominated the Sharks, leading at every change to win 13.12 (90) to no score at Hands Oval on Sunday afternoon.

Missing nine of their best 22 heading into the clash, South Bunbury showed their immense depth as they ran away with the match.

The Tigers’ leaders rose to the challenge, with Karyn Beeson, Charli Wicksteed, Megan Bain and Brooke Edwards standing up in the middle to give Bond plenty of opportunities in the forward line.

Rising starts Brigitte Morgan and Pania Kara worked hard for the Sharks as they have all year, but found it hard to get out of tackles from the bigger bodies of the Tigers.

The highlight of the match for South Bunbury came in the third term, when star forward Bond kicked her fifth of the day and her 150th of the year, before booting two more to finish with seven for the day.

The win means the Tigers remain on top of the ladder and eight points clear of second placed Bunbury, while Dunsborough are in last place without a win.
