It was a slow start for both teams with just one goal scored in the opening term, as the home team got the early advantage.
It continued after the quarter time break, as the Rovers managed a five-goal second quarter to extend their lead even more by the main break.
The Bombers kicked 2.8 in the first half with the 20-point deficit proving too hard to overcome in the second half, losing 6.13.49 to 9.14.68.
John Forbes was the leading goalscorer for the home team, finishing with three majors while Tim McGregor slotted two to top the Bombers’ list.
The victory against the Bombers lifts the Bulldogs up to seventh spot, two wins out of fifth spot with some key players set to return in the coming weeks.
