The Swans junior stood head and shoulders above in his side’s under-16 meeting with Moama in round two of the Goulburn Murray Junior League grading competition.

The only multiple goal-kicker on the ground, Bicknell sure made his impact count with seven majors in a blistering display as his side moved to 1-1 with a 10.14 (74) to 3.4 (22) win over the 0-2 Magpies.

There were some eye-catching numbers elsewhere as well, with Shepparton Notre Maroon finding 12 individual goal-kickers in a rampant 23.25 (163) to 1.1 (7) win over Alexandra.

Echuca Bombers, Mooroopna, Shepparton United and Shepparton Notre Gold each moved to 2-0 with respective wins over Seymour, Echuca Murray Bombers, Euroa and Kyabram.

Tatura stole some attention with a score that will prove hard to top in local junior football this year, notching its second win by a mammoth 34.25 (229) to 1.0 (6) domination of Broadford — with no fewer than 17 out of 20 listed players finding the goals.
