Donnybrook have moved to third on the Dale Alcock Homes South West, South West Football League ladder, after a thumping victory over Eaton at Glen Huon Reserve on Sunday afternoon.
With other results falling the Dons way in round eighteen, Donnybrook now sit third, equal on points with Harvey Brunswick Leschenault and South Bunbury, with three rounds remaining.
The match was set up in the opening quarter with Donnybrook kicking seven goals to one, with Kristian Cary kicking three goals for the quarter.
The second term was a lot tighter, with Eaton able to control general play for periods, which saw the Dons kick three goals to one for the quarter, to lead by fifty four points at half time.
But after half time, the Dons put the after-burners on, kicking fourteen second half goals, with Cary finishing with seven for the match, including the last two, while Zac Trigwell kicked five. Ben Frazer gathered a multitude of possessions for Donnybrook to be one of the best on the ground. Bailee Kent and Tyrell McKenzie-Roe were amongst the best for Eaton, who have now lost their last seven matches to the Dons, with the last two by a combined total of 333 points.
Eaton will travel to Kelly Park next Saturday to play Carey Park, while Donnybrook will look to become the first team to beat Busselton in 2026, when they play on Sunday.
