Bulls belt Panthers by record margin

The Harvey Bulls have recorded the biggest-ever winning margin in the history of the SWFL women’s competition, defeating Carey Park 19.12 (126) to 0.0 (0) at the Harvey Recreation Ground on Saturday afternoon. As the scoreline suggests, the Bulls were utterly dominant from start to finish against a Carey Park side that could field only 11 players and were topped up with a number of Harvey players. The home side kicked five goals in the first quarter, four in the second and three in the third before a monstrous seven-goal final term to seal the league’s biggest ever victory. Harvey ruck Maddie Bedford was a stand-out both at stoppages and inside forward-50s for the Bulls, while Megan Minton kicked six goals. Harmony Staszewski-Hose kicked the final goal with the last kick of the game to seal the record. The win surpasses South Bunbury’s 19.9 (123) to 0.1 (1) victory over the Panthers in the final round of last season. Carey Park now hold the unenviable record of owning the three biggest defeats in league history. In other games, Bunbury, 13.9 (87), also held Eaton scoreless, likewise Busselton, 4.9 (33), in their game against Harvey-Brunswick-Leschenault, while Donnybrook pushed reigning premiers South Bunbury, losing 3.6 (24) to 1.6 (12) to
