The victory is the Bombers' first over the Burras since 2003 and ends their run of two-straight preliminary final exits.Buninyong now prepares to take on Daylesford in next Saturday's grand final at Eureka Stadium.

The Bulldogs were 45-point winners over Bungaree in the second preliminary final at Dunnstown today.
