Bombers respond

By Luke Pentony

The Bombers are back in front via an Archer May goal.

May took a brilliant contested mark deep inside the attacking 50 before nailing the set-shot.

But the origins of this goal came from a great tackle upfield from Sam Durham, who gave the Bombers possession from which they could attack.

After a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury, Christian Petracca has made a stunning return already.

Petracca confidently launched from just outside the arc to kick the Suns’ first goal of the match.

He had managed an earlier behind, so its the Suns leading 1.1 to 1.0 early in the opening term.

A sight for sore Suns eyes!

We’re not far away from a start at Carrara, with the sixth-placed Suns facing the buoyant Bombers, who are coming off their first win of the season.

The Suns had to lick their wounds following a 32-point defeat to the Swans in Gather Round but they welcome back some massive ‘ins’ for today’s encounter.

Christian Petracca (injury) and Bailey Humphrey (suspension) both return, while Oscar Adams and Jake Rogers have also been named.

The Suns will be without skipper Noah Anderson (illness), while Lachie Gulbin, Alex Davies and Sam Clohesy have been omitted.
