Bendigo jumped the TEAC Borough in the second quarter kicking the first five goals to give them a 22 point lead half way through the second quarter until Anthony Aloi, who had just come on to the ground, kicked a goal for the Borough, to steady the side.
The last quarter was one of desperation and hunger with the Borough and the Bombers going goal for goal with Shane Clayton kicking the first for the Borough to put them in front.
But for the disappointing Borough that's where it ended, the Borough's had the Bombers backs to the wall but the hunger of the Bombers by far outweighed the hnuger of the Borough.

Meanwhile, on Sunday at Teac Oval, Sandringham withstood a first quarter onslaught by a rampant Bendigo Bombers outfit, to inch their way back into the game in the second term, and eventually take control of the game with a convincing 39 point win.
With the aid of a strong four goal breeze, the Bombers blasted five goals to one in the first stanza, including a pearler from the boundary by Bomber skipper Nick Carter.
At the quarter time huddle, Bomber coach Mathew Knights urged his team to bounce and carry the ball forward into the breeze, saying; “This is where we set it up, this is where six months of hard work comes into it.

Eleven Bendigo players have been selected for the practice match, a number which Cox estimates will be reduce by at least two or three come the season-opener.
``Competition for spots is going to be tough, there's no hiding that, and Sunday is another chance for the Bendigo boys to press their claims for a spot.'' Cox said several lesser lights had taken giant steps this pre-season towards becoming consistent VFL players.

 Sandringham Zebras
When Bomber skipper and former Demon Nick Carter won the toss before the game, he had no hesitation in kicking towards the City Road end of TEAC Oval which was favoured by a strong northerly blowing more or less straight down the ground.
By keeping the Bombers scoreless in the last ten minutes of the first term, the backline headed by Andy Biddlecombe, skipper Chad Liddell, Matthew Warnock at full back and Matt Gadsden doing a sterling tagging job on Bomber danger man Angus Monfries laid the groundwork for their team's revival in the second quarter and beyond.
Bendigo showed no sign of snapping and looked to have the goods by adding to the lead until the Zebra midfield, led by Sean O'Keeffe and Simon Godfrey, dug deep into their reserves of energy and determination to take the initiative and the gap narrowed.

The last quarter was mostly a case of going through the motions and although Bendigo battled the game out to the bitter end, the Bullants went on to record a 73 point win, the resultant percentage boost pushing the club into the eight despite having played one game less than most of the opposition.
Despite handing out a thrashing to the Bendigo Bombers earlier in the year, the Bullants went into this game as underdogs given the long run of losses and improved form from the Bombers side that sees them with a chance of a finals berth.
Bendigo kept up the pressure to add nine goals for the quarter, leaving them with a handy but not insurmountable lead of 27 points at the last break.

The Bombers finished eighth in the VFL, making the finals for the first time only to lose to Tasmania in the elimination final, and will look to develop young players as opposed to bringing in more senior personnel.
