Low scoring bookend quarters fatal for Bombers against Mighty Mounts

Meanwhile, the visitor got off to a hot start, nailing four through the middle sticks to get out to a 25-point lead at the first break.

L-G well and truly found its feet in the second period, putting four shots on goal through for maximum return, while the Mighty Mounts settled for two goals tacked on to the tally, the difference increasing slightly in favour of the visitor at half-time.

A tidy 3.1 effort kept the Bombers in the game while Mt Pleasant did just enough to keep its nose in front with 3.3, could L-G romp back down the stretch?

Unfortunately not.

Scoring proved difficult for both teams in the fourth quarter, with the Bombers settling for just 1.3, a far cry from what was required to win the game.

The Mighty Mounts could only do slightly better with two goals to finish their day, their earlier work shining through to take a 24-point win behind enemy lines.

Tom Brereton was L-G’s most lethal scorer with two goals and was joined on the best list by Ben Embleton, Charles Hancock, Austin Windridge, Bradley Green and Jye Keath.

The Bombers will have another difficult match ahead of them in round 13, when they travel to Colbinabbin to face the second-placed Grasshoppers.
