A blistering seven-goal opening term by Hepburn set up a huge 98-point win over Daylesford.

The Bulldogs only managed one major after half-time and were held scoreless in the third term.

Daylesford battled hard until the end but lacked the class and experience of Hepburn.

Andy and Mitch McKay were excellent for Burras, as were Dan O'Halloran and Joe Malone.

Jesse Brown and Patrick Rowe were shining lights for Daylesford.

Hepburn's Lee Cox was late withdrawal before the game, but is set to return next weekend.

SPRINGBANK 7.10 (52) d BUNINYONG 3.7 (25)

Springbank have recorded a comfortable 27-point win over Buninyong.

The Tigers adapted well to the wet and wild conditions which began in the second quarter, and continued for the remainder of the match.

The Bombers were without the presence of Sam Turner, who was rested with a persistent shoulder injury.

The best players for the Tigers included Matt Tyler, Tim Malone, Joel Maher and Chris Quinlan.

Buninyong was well served by Mark Phelps, Jarrod Rogers, Paul Harris and Chris Wills.

BUNGAREE 6.6 (42) d CLUNES 5.6 (36)

Bungaree managed to avoid an upset loss by hanging on to a 6-point victory over Clunes.

A last-minute goal to Nicholas Weightman saw the Demons hand the Magpies a heartbreaking loss in their best performance of the 2015 campaign. 

The wet weather served as a major disadvantage for the Demons as they were outclassed for the majority of the match.

Mark Paramonov and playing coach Jason Hill were among the best for Clunes.

The Demons were supported under pressure from Jackson Murphy and Mitchell Bruns.
