THE Bendigo Bank Bombers yesterday improved their record to 3-1 after four rounds of the VFL season following a 31-point victory over Geelong.

The Bombers and Cats kicked the dew off at Skilled Stadium in a 9.40am start, with Bendigo prevailing 14.9 (93) to 9.8 (62).

The victory followed wins over Collingwood and Port Melbourne over the previous two weeks, making it the first time since rounds seven, eight and nine of 2007 when Matthew Knights was coach that the Bombers have strung together three consecutive wins.

Bendigo now sits in fourth position on the ladder with a percentage of 121.74.

The Bombers made a strong start to the contest, opening up a 18-point advantage at quarter-time as they led 5.2 to 2.2.

THE good news for Frankston is that it returns to home comforts this week.
The bad is that it hosts North Ballarat, the reigning premier and going along nicely at 3-1 as it constructs its title defence.

An upset victory over the Coburg Tigers in Round 2 gave the Dolphins heart and hope, but it fell to Geelong by 91 points the week after and, on Saturday, took a 105-point thrashing from the Northern Bullants at Visy Park.

"We only played one decent quarter of footy, the third," coach Simon Goosey said on Sunday.
