The Mountain Men rallied from nine points down at half-time to be within two at the final change, before a dominant final term saw them record a 10.13 (73) to 7.9 (51) salute.

Rodrigo Arguello, Michael Elliott, Nathan Smith, Damien Jenvey, Sam Dalbosco and Nick Broad impressed for Bright, while coach Paul Harrison was the only multiple goal-kicker with two.

Tarrawingee has won four of its last five and held off a late surge to topple Benalla All Blacks, 4.14 (38) to 4.11 (35).

No goals were kicked in the first half as blustery conditions wreaked havoc throughout the contest.

Former North Melbourne player Lachlan Hansen nabbed two majors for the Bulldogs.
