Eddie Sansbury turned on a match winning performance as he bagged a personal best since joining the Hornets at the start of 2013.
Although Eddie was in terrific form on Saturday, it was the team performance that was the talking point after Saturdays 4 goal win against Redland.
The Hornets put the Bombers to the sword in a 9 goal second term and it was this burst that put the game beyond doubt.
The game was played at a very high standard as both teams were clinicle in front of goal. The Bombers jumped out to a 19 point lead early in the first term before the Hornets moved into overdrive and kicked 12 of the next 14 goals to take a 46 point lead into the main break.
To Redlands credit they never gave up, closing the margin to 4 goals late in the last quarter but the Hornets were never really threatened as they cruised to a comfortable 4 goal win.
Cleve Hughes was once again good up forward for the Bombers but it was Eddie Sansbury that stole the show kicking 9 goals in a Best on ground performance.
