Laurimar opened its Northern Football Netball League season with a strong 88-point win over Reservoir at home on Saturday.
The Power were able to open up seven-point lead at quarter time but really turned on the jets in the second term, kicking 8.5.53 to 3.1.19 to take a 41-point lead into half-time.
It was more of the same for Laurimar coming out of the sheds for the second half, as the Power extended their lead to nine goals with a 4.2.26 to 2.1.13 third term.
Laurimar put the result beyond doubt but could’ve boosted the percentage a bit more after a 5.10.40 to one goal fourth quarter.
Josh Williamson was dominant up forward, booting eight majors in a best on ground performance.
