Royals face danger game in Borough

THE ladder-leading Bendigo faces a danger game on Eaglehawk’s greens in Saturday’s 11th round of premier division matches in Bendigo Campaspe Goldfields weekend pennant.

A confident Royals lineup will take to the Simpsons Road greens following last Friday’s victory at Marong by 23 shots.

The best result for Bendigo against Marong under Friday night lights was a 27–13 win by the Brayden Byrne-skipped rink.

When the Hawks and Bendigo met in round four it was the Royals who claimed a seven-shot win on the Barnard Street greens.

The Two Blues went down in last Saturday’s match at Golden Square by 19 shots.

Second in the premiership race, Moama is back at home to take on Marong.

The Steamers were outplayed at Marong in round four as the division’s newest team won 16–78 to 2–75.

Moama won its latest hit-out at Kangaroo Flat by 31 shots.

Third on the ladder, Golden Square will be home in Wade Street to take on Bendigo East.

The Bulldogs are nine points and 53 shots clear of fourth-placed South Bendigo.

When East and Square met in round four it was the blue and gold that won in the Magpies’ nest by three shots.

Kangaroo Flat faces a daunting task at home against South Bendigo.

Although the Roos have home-green advantage, they are up against the Diggers who scored a 16–89 to 2–75 win against Bendigo East under South Bendigo’s lights last Friday night.
