A five goal bag for Busselton's Mitch Howlett played a big part in the team's away win over the Eaton Boomers in round four of the South West Football League.
The Magpies were out of the blocks fast, kicking four goals and five behinds in the first quarter.
Busselton were incredibly inaccurate in the second term, kicking just one goal and 6 behinds. This allowed Eaton to creep closer with two goals.

The Boomers had more scoring shots in the last, but couldn't capitalise with just two goals and five behinds. While the Magpies stayed in a comfortable lead with two goals.

The final score was 11.14(80) to 6.10(46).
