In what was always set for a tough contest, particularly as the Bombers finished last season with just one win and an 11th place finish, Kyabram was in the mix in the first quarter.
Tallying eight goals in the first quarter to the Magpies’ 17, there was still hope for the Bombers to come out swinging in the second period.
However, the 2024 premiers showed why they are a hot-favourite to go back-to-back this season, notching 19 goals in a dominant stretch before half-time.
Meanwhile, Kyabram remained consistent, managing eight goals in its second effort, with the lead sitting at 20 at the major break.
The Magpies continued their reign of terror in the third term, producing another 19 goal effort to continue creating distance between them and the Bombers.
Kyabram had a slight dip in productivity in front of goal, adding just seven to its total tally to make the deficit 32 with a quarter to go.
The final frame was the most productive attacking stretch of play for the Bombers, who goaled 10 to leave the match with 33 goals in hand.
Euroa weren’t going to slow down either, also manufacturing its greatest quarter in the final stretch, sinking 20 goals to bringing its total to a mammoth 75-goal effort.
The 42-point victory will strike fear into the rest of the competition, as fellow teams will scratch their heads to find an answer to the Magpie machine.
Abby Waasdorp was named best on court for the Bombers for her efforts up and down the court in Wing Attack.
The loss means Kyabram finds itself in 11th once more, but a date with Tatura in round two could prove a more accurate yardstick for the Bombers’ potential in 2025.
