Bundoora had a disappointing season. Nick McIntyre transferring to Altona, and Luke Aiello to England suggested Bundoora would struggle, and in the end that is how it turned out.
But the Premier Division side won 4 or their first 5, yet had only 7 wins and a draw from their 18 games. The side was safe from relegation with three games to go, and a number of players used to strengthen the seconds in the final 3 weeks. This was successful.
The thirds won 7 games but were relegated due to an inferior shot difference to Diamond Creek. They slip back to Division 3.
The fourth, fifth and seventh sides all finished mid field, but the sixth side won promotion by finishing second in Division 7.

The ladies no 1 side again took section honours. This continues a phenomenal run, and they won their quarter final against Lilydale, but bowed out in the semi final to Yarraville/Foostcray.
The seconds finished runner up in Division A2, while the thirds and fiurth sides finished mid field.

Bundoora had a roller coaster year. A season that promised so much, but finished with no casualties.
The Premier Division side were last after 5 rounds, yet finished the season in 5th place, missing the finals by a 2 millimetres, as the side won its last three games to miss the finals by 1 point. Player movement prior to the start of the season and during the season caused some disruption, but the side was at its best late in the season. Eight wins and three incomplete games was a creditable performance
The seconds had a terrific year, and had sewn up second spot on the ladder after 15 rounds. Some changes in the last three rounds provided an opportunity for the club to obtain a Division 2 sides for season 2006/07. Eventually finished with 9 wins and 2 incomplete games was a great effort.
The thirds were consistent, and chased hard all season. Finished in 4th place after being 3rd after sixteen rounds, and eights points out of second position. A good result.
The fourths were on top after ten rounds, and finished 2nd, missing top spot by only 3 points. 12 wins and 2 incomplete games was rewarded with promotion to Division 2.
The fifths recorded 8 wins and 2 incomplete games in finishing in 7th place.
The sixths recorded only 3 losses during the season and missed top spot by eight points. Promoted to Division 6.
The sevenths had a difficult year, with player movement and unavailability in higher sections. The side won only two games, but three losses by less than 7 shots.
Season 2004/05
RVBA Section
This season again saw some impressive results. The highlight was of course the Premier Division premiership. Bundoora won the premiership by defeating Darebin City in the RVBA Premier Division played at Mulgrave. The Bundoora side completed an outstanding season by winning 14 home and away from 17 starts. Bundoora lost the second semi final to Darebin City, and then defeated reigning premier Melbourne to earn another shot at Darebin and the title.
In perfect conditions, and on a slightly two paced green, Bundoora led by 15 shots for most of the afternoon, and still led by 13 with 10 ends to play, 9 with 9 remaining, and then 6 shots with 3 to play, and protected the lead to grab the premiership.
Bundoora have had some incredibly close tussles with Darebin over the last 3 years with Bundoora holding a 6-2 win loss record, although there has never been a great deal between the sides
Bundoora 2 finished 3rd in Division 1, behind Lalor and Ivanhoe. Considering that their objective was to finish 8th or better, their effort was fantastic. Few sides have a Premier Division and a Division 1 side. This season saw Division 1 split into four sections, two from the East and two from the West.
Bundoora 3 finished 4th in Division 3, which was slightly disappointing given that they were in a challenging position at the Christmas break.
Bundoora 4 won their section again. This was predominantly the side, which won the premiership in the previous season, and won promotion again, this time to Division 3. Great effort to make the playoffs, but were bundled out in the first week.
Bundoora 5 finished 2nd behind Ivanhoe, and won promotion to Division 5. Bundoora 6 finished 4th, with the same number of wins as the third place getter.
Bundoora 7 won their section, while disappointed with the number of walk overs, where opponents failed to play 4 games. However the side made the playoffs, and won their first final, only to lose the next week in unusual circumstances, with a few strange umpiring decisions. Scores were tied after regulation time, and they lost on extra ends.

The no 1 side held their heads up high, by easily taking section honours, and qualifying for another finals spot. While this is a regular occuirrence for the side, they haven't been able to take off the major trophy.
The 2nds had been promoted to the A1 Division this season, but struggled to make impact, and the other 3 sides also found the going difficult.
Another great year for the club, following on from success in the previous season.

The RVBA Premier League side proved competitive after a slow start to the season. The side won only one of the first six matches, but finished the season winning six of the next eleven games, and its last home match was washed out by rain.

The 2nds chased hard and finished in second position. The 3rds won their section. The 4ths fell at the last hurdle and surrendered a section win. The 5ths and 6ths won their sections, while the 7ths were the form side of their competition since November. Teams 3, 4, 5 and 6 all won promotion to higher grades next season.
The ladies also had terrific results, with the 1sts and 2nds winning their respective sections. The 3rds had a tough year and occupied 8th spot, while the 4ths finished third, on percentage. The 5ths also tried hard.
