Superoos tackle Machine at Mitiamo

MITIAMO takes on Bridgewater in this Saturday’s match of the day in the ninth round of the Bendigo Bank Loddon Valley Football League’s senior’s footy.

Two of the league’s biggest rivals will clash on Mitiamo’s turf at John Forbes Oval with both teams in a fight to claim third place and the double chance come finals.

The Marcus McKern-coached Mitiamo is a win clear of the Rick Ladson-coached Bridgewater.

Cameron Ross had four goals and Josh Martyn and Brayden Stepien on three led the attack.

In-form players for Bridgewater include Emile Pavlich, Harry Donegan, Jacob Ellings and Alex Pollock.

Key players for Mitiamo a likely to be Ross Turner, Lee Dale, Doug Thomas, Jarryd Wiegard and Ryan Wellington.

Stung by an 81-point loss at Serpentine, Inglewood must regroup for its home game against Pyramid Hill at Dissy Machinery Oval.

The Darrell Billett-coached Blues still hold fifth place, but are now just .43 per cent clear of the Bears.

Best for the Blues at Serpentine were Bregon Cotchett, Tom Alexander and Charlie Ingham.

It’s a daunting task for Inglewood against the unbeaten and ladder-leading Pyramid Hill.

The Bulldogs passed the 200-point mark against Newbridge as Steven Gunther, Billy Micevski, Ryley Dickens and Bailey George led the way.

Back in Bendigo, Maiden Gully YCW takes on Bears Lagoon Serpentine at Marist College Oval.

Jason Butty kicked six goals for the Eagles against Bridgewater and will test the Bears defence.

Other key players for the Gully include Hamish McCartney, Jonathon Carroll, Corey Walsh and Lachie Sobina.

The Bears dominated after quarter-time of their clash with Inglewood as Andrew Gladman and coach Justin Laird finished with five goals apiece.

The skilful Josh Walsh was in outstanding form across half-back as Charlie Gadsden, James Bailey and Harrison Gadsden all played starring roles.

Newbridge and Calivil United will look to bounce back from big defeats when they meet at Holloway Air Riverside Oval in Newbridge.

Best for Newbridge at Pyramid Hill were Brandon Etherington, Ben Burns, Ryan Burt, Harry Whittle, Chris and Logan Dixon.

A win would lift the Luke Freeman-coached Maroons off the bottom rung of the ladder.

Marong has the bye.
