PORT Melbourne coach Gary Ayres said his team had shown plenty of "Borough spirit" to defeat Northern Bullants by five points in a pulsating contest at TEAC Oval yesterday.

Forward Adrian Bonaddio kicked only two goals but inspired Port in the third term with one of his trademark booming kicks from outside 50 to kickstart a five-goal onslaught.

That, he thinks, leaves a few clubs to do some serious bidding.
