SWFL men’s: Harvey Bulls difficult end to season continues with 145-point drubbing from Augusta-Margaret River

Harvey Bulls’ difficult back half of the South West Football League season continued with a 145-point drubbing at the hands of Augusta-Margaret River at Gloucester Park. The hosts set the tone early with a 10-goal to none first term and the tide did not turn from there, with the fourth-placed Hawks now only percentage behind third-placed Harvey-Brunswick-Leschenault after dishing out a 25.14 (164) to 2.7 (19) thrashing to the battling visitors. Veteran Jack Hick came in with only five goals on the year but led the way for the winners with a haul of 10, while Charlie Wrigglesworth (three goals), Byron George, Kalani Brooks and Mitchell Payne (all two) provided good support. The loss is the Bulls’ third by a margin of greater than 20 goals since round 11 and fifth by more than 15 goals. Fynn Hinchcliffe and Riley Vidovich kicked the visitors’ only two goals on the day, while Aaron Jovanovic, Connor Mallis and Logan Egerton-green were listed among the best players. The Bulls’ ladder-leading women’s side were on a bye due to the Hawks not having a team in the competition.
