INVERLOCH KONGWAK rode their undefeated streak into the weekend’s contest with the struggling Bunyip and looked to make it nine in a row in the wind at the Inverloch Recreation Reserve. 

After a little bit of adjusting, young gun Taite Cumming drew first blood the way of the hometown Sea Eagles, before Tim Henschel put through a Bulldogs reply following a confusing 50 metre penalty. 
Jordan Bertacco was then the beneficiary of a 50 the other way as the discipline of both sides was tested early. 

IK got their second and then their third through more great work from the young duo of Bertacco and Cumming, the latter was tearing it up in the first term, booting a third moments later after a strong contested mark in the goal square. 

Inverloch Kongwak took a 19-point lead into the first change, a decent effort considering they were against a slight wind advantage in the opening term. 

Now with the wind and their tails up, the Sea Eagles were out to flex their muscles and build a big lead in the second quarter, and they wasted no time doing so, opening scoring with a Nicholas Baltas major within the first minute. 

The travelling ‘Dogs were able to wrestle a bit of momentum back and make the game a scrappy one for a brief period before IK broke through again with Wyatt’s second and Cumming’s fourth.
The hosts had extended their lead from 19 at the first break to 62-points as the siren blew for halftime. 

Needing to mount some sort of fightback with the wind in the third, the Bulldogs came out and turned the game into a scrappy battle once again in the third.

The Bulldogs were brave but were no match for the IK avalanche in the fourth quarter as Joe Soumilas kicked his first for the day before Pryor proved his first wasn’t a fluke with another great set shot.
Boom recruit Tate Short was again dominant for the Sea Eagles, playing across half back and winning plenty of the football for his side, who ran out 138-point winners.
