The clash was the Big Rivers Football League match of round four, and began with scrappy play from both sides, with little clean possession until late in the first stanza.
The second quarter was a lot tighter, with the Crows starting to convert on the scoreboard.
Their lace-out, pinpoint delivery is fast becoming a feature of their playing style, and with the likes of Bonson, Roberts and Groves on the end of these passes, the other clubs have a lot to think about in trying to stop this juggernaut for the remainder of 2015.
Bell was ferocious in attack for the Camels and pressured his opponents, and created a few headaches for the high-flying Crows.
The Crows’ fast, rebound football was the telling factor, however, and the team finished the match in dominant fashion to claim the competition points.
