Following their first win of the season last time out, the Bombers headed to Nathalia to take on an undefeated Numurkah side.
The side appears to be going from strength to strength with a dominant ten sets to one victory.
There were multiple 6-0 victories for Kyabram in the singles, with Kade Starling and Rhiann Eddy dominating their more senior opponents.
Kyabram rounded out a strong singles day for the team with a 6-1 victory for Sheree Starling and 6-2 victory for Regan More.
More then combined with David Starling for an 8-1 doubles victory, and this was supported by a further 8-1 victory for Rhiann Eddy and Miley Morris, making her debut for the season.
Despite splitting the next two doubles sets, the Bombers were able to sweep the mixed doubles, highlighted by a pair of 8-3 victories for the pairs of David and Tayla Starling and Xavier Dodos and Rhiann Eddy, wrapping up Eddy’s perfect day.
In the end it was a comfortable forty-five game victory for the side.
With that victory, the Bombers are sitting firmly in the top four with a bye in the next round.
The Redbacks made the long bus trip with the other GM3 side to Yarrawonga to take on a Cobram side that was yet to get a win this season.
In what has been the story of the Redbacks season so far, the women led from the front, clean sweeping their four sets.
Justine McConnell was the standout in her two sets, combining with Marg Haw for an 8-2 victory and then combining with young gun Shylee Donaldson for an 8-3 victory.
This was combined with an 8-5 victory for Marg Haw and Susie Bennett and then an 8-4 victory for Bennett and Donaldson.
The men’s sets were closer, with Barry Norton gaining a pair of 8-6 victories, combining with Graeme Elliott and George Brega.
Elliott then combined with Sam McConnell for a solid 8-4 victory that broke the matchup open.
Unfortunately, the men weren’t able to match the women’s clean sweep, dropping one set in a tie-break.
With a strong lead heading into the mixed doubles sets, the Redbacks were able to win three of the four sets to a resounding thirty-eight game victory.
The mixed sets were highlighted by an 8-1 victory for Marg Haw and Sam McConnell and an 8-1 victory for Barry Norton and Susie Bennett.
The win sneaks the Redbacks into the top four with back-to-back dominant victories.
The Redbacks next week will take on the Numurkah Penguins in what is a grand final rematch from last season.

In what was a match-up of two undefeated sides, the Bombers were looking to cement their place towards the top of the ladder.
To start the day, the two teams showed it was going to be close, splitting the two men’s singles sets with Evan Cooknell starting the day with a 6-1 victory.
Cooknell was able to carry this momentum on for the rest of the day, going three for three, including an 8-4 victory with Greg Tarrant and an 8-6 victory with Abby Prycroft.
Prycroft was the other player on the day to go three for three, winning both of her doubles sets with a pair of 8-4 victories with Taylor Sutton and Alyssa Christou.
These victories led to the Bombers holding a strong 16-game lead going into the final three mixed sets.
The Bombers were able to win two of the three sets, with Mitchell Cox and Taylor Sutton combining for an 8-6 victory.
This, combined with the other mixed doubles victory, was enough to secure a 15-game victory.
This result means that the Bombers are one of three teams to be undefeated after 3 rounds, with a match-up against Central Park to come next week.
GM4 Open Kyabram Bombers 8-71 Defeated Shepparton North 1-32
All teams in the GM4 Open division descended on Shepparton Lawn for their match-ups.
The Bombers were looking to gain back-to-back victories against newcomers to the league, Shepparton North.
Young gun Max Hausler again showed that he is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years.
Hausler had a pair of 8-2 victories, combining with Amy Harrison and Michael Argeat, and in the most dominant set of the day Hausler combined with Perry Jackson for an 8-1 victory.
The other dominant victories of the day were Scott Hausler and Perry Jackson combining for an 8-2 victory, Michael Argaet also securing an 8-2 victory, and an 8-3 victory for Scott Hausler and Amy Harrison.
The Bombers only dropped one set for the day in a tightly contested tie-breaker set.
This led to the Bombers securing a very strong 39-game victory.
This means that following a tough first round loss, the Bombers have rebounded to be sitting third on the ladder with back-to-back strong victories.
Next week, the Bombers play in a Kyabram Derby for the first time against the Redbacks.
GM4 Open Kyabram Redbacks 5-56 Defeated Cobram Crickets 4-50
Fresh off their first ever win as a team, competition newcomers the Redbacks were looking to make it back-to-back victories.
After a flawless week last week, Hugh Cunningham was again a standout for the Redbacks, winning two of his sets.
Firstly, an 8-4 victory with team captain Anthony Li and then an 8-3 victory with Leah Dennis.
Dennis then combined with Rachael Costello for another strong 8-3 victory.
Dennis then rounded out a perfect day, completing an 8-4 victory with another young gun of the club Chloe Berner.
Berner then combined for the final win of the day with Luke Motton for a strong 8-4 victory.
Over the course of the day, it seemed to go set for set, however the Redbacks were just able to outlast the Cobram side and managed to win one more set, which was enough for a 6-game victory for the team.
With two wins from their first three matches, the Redbacks sit just one spot outside the top four with a chance to take a big scalp against last year’s premiers and cross-town rivals the Kyabram Bombers.
The results of round three means it has been back-to-back weeks where Ky Lawn has taken a clean sweep of victories.
The season is shaping up to be another successful one for the club.
