BAMBILL was too strong for Gol Gol in the opening Sunraysia Women's Football League match on Friday night, but the teams put on an entertaining contest in front of a huge Alcheringa Oval crowd.

In the curtain-raiser to the men's game featuring Collingwood great Dane Swan, Bambill kicked 10.6 (66) to Gol Gol's 6.3 (39), the visitors holding off a late charge from a spirited home team.
