The Towners kept their place inside the Central Highlands Football League top eight with a hard-fought 28-point victory against Rokewood-Corindhap, which responded after half time to keep the game in the balance deep into the final term.
Dunnstown cruised to a 44-point lead at the main break, but was challenged strongly by the visitors, which trimmed the margin to less than three kicks early in the last quarter.
When Denis Biscan converted five minutes into the last term, the Grasshoppers were just 14 points behind, but it was as close as they got as the home team responded with a couple of late majors to seal the result.
After the interleague break, the eighth-placed Dunnstown has a clash with Smythesdale in round seven, while Rokewood-Corindhap, now 10th on the table, hosts Beaufort.
