The Western Bulldogs have secured a historic first VFLW victory, running out comprehensive 56-point winners over Williamstown at Henry Turner Reserve on Saturday afternoon.

Alyssa Mifsud (four goals) in her first game of the season, and Jess Francke (five goals) led the charge up forward for the Bulldogs, helping the home side to their highest score of the season.

A five goal to one opening term had the Bulldogs with the early ascendancy, entering the first change with a five-point lead.

While both teams added just one goal in the second term, it was another scoring onslaught from the home team in the third term that consolidated their advantage.

The Bulldogs came out firing after half-time, piling on five goals whilst keeping Williamstown scoreless, to extend their advantage out to a game high 62-points at the final change.

While Williamstown outscored the Bulldogs two goals to one in the final term, the damage had already been done, with the Western Bulldogs securing their first premiership points of the state league season.

The Western Bulldogs will next Saturday travel to Casey Fields to take on the Casey Demons, with the first bounce at 4pm.
