Waves men's teams dominated again in the top grades of District AFL, Hockey and Football (Soccer) across the region on Saturday.
In AFL, Waves Eagles powered on with a 13.5 (83) to 6.11 (47) victory over fellow perennial heavyweights and hosts, Hervey Bay Bombers, with Mitchell Wright, Ethan Hawkins and Jason Bethune each bagging hat-tricks of goals, but it was Patrick Power who took out the Best on Ground.
In hockey, Waves Cities also made it two from two and started the season with Queensland representative star Ryley Stevens and Lachlan McLennan hammering in three goals in an 8-1 demolition of fellow first-round winners Raiders/Rovers.
In football, Waves swamped Diggers 9-1 in their Wide Bay Premier League showdown at Martens Oval with former UPE star 18-year-old Bryce Hibberd following in the footsteps of his uncle's and former club greats, Giuseppe and Robert Barazza, on his club debut with a three-goal haul.
