Tyler Dunstan was hurt while contesting the ball, with a delay of more than 30 minutes as he was treated by ambulance officers.

It is understood Dunstan has been cleared of any serious injury and has regained feeling in his arms and legs.

Aided with a stiff breeze at their backs, the Lions had kicked six unanswered goals in the opening term, but Bomaderry had roared back into the contest in the second quarter to be within 19 points when the incident happened.

The Lions remain the league's only unbeaten team, but won't play for another three weeks, because of next Saturday's representative weekend where South Coast take on Black Diamond and a bye the following round.

And the round two game against Kiama is also unlikely to be replayed, after it was initially postponed due to the sudden passing of Power life member Darren Williams.

Kiama made an emphatic statement on Saturday, outclassing Wollongong Bulldogs 11.7 (73) to 3.11 (29).

The premiers kicked 4.2 to four points in the final term at Bonaira Oval.

In the other game, Figtree continued Shellharbour's miserable start to the season, running out 21.13 (139) to 5.2 (32) winners, including a seven-goal onslaught in the last term.

Coached by Kiama premiership coach Rod Richards, South Coast take on the Black Diamond League at West Newcastle on Saturday.

Shellharbour celebrated their first ever victory in the AFL South Coast Women's competition after beating the Wollongong Saints by 69 points at Figtree Oval on Saturday.

Newly formed for the second ever season of the women's league, the Suns had lost their opening three games, but kicked eight goals in the last quarter against the Saints to win 12.10 (82) to 2.1 (13), having only been 11 points up at half-time.

Cailah Bell kicked four goals and Shellee Gibson three, while Tyler Finn and captain Talarah Bull, sister of Sydney Swans rookie prospect James Bell, were among their best.

Elsewhere, Wollongong Lions overpowered their grand final conquerors Bomaderry by 21 points and Wollongong Bulldogs defeated Kiama Power by 49 points.

Meanwhile, the Saints moved to joint leaders in the AFL Sydney Women's division one after a 22-point win over the previously unbeaten Manly on Saturday.

Eleri Morris kicked two as Kelsie Hawkesby was a standout.
