EAGLEHAWK will be primed for a big test against the ladder-leading Golden Square in this Saturday\u2019s fourth round of the Bendigo Bank Bendigo Football Netball League\u2019s senior footy season.<\/p>\n
The Hawks will be eyeing a great opportunity to prove they can match the best in the clash at Canterbury Park.<\/p>\n
Keys to the Two Blues\u2019 chances include the defensive pressure where Oscar Madden and Clayton Holmes are likely to be opposed to the in-form Joel Brett and Jayden Burke.<\/p>\n
Darcy Richards leads the Hawks\u2019 attack that includes Liam Marciano, Shaun Knott, Kobe Lloyd and Ben Thompson.<\/p>\n
The winless Sandhurst faces a crucial game against Kangaroo Flat at Queen Elizabeth Oval.<\/p>\n
Key players for Sandhurst include Zach Pallpratt, Noah Walsh, ruckman Hamish Hosking, Lee Coghlan and Cobi Maxted who kicked six goals against South Bendigo.<\/p>\n
The Dragons have averaged just 10 goals a game, so need a dramatic lift in form across the forward 50-meter arc.<\/p>\n
The Kangaroos will look to Mitch Rovers, Hakeem Johnson, Mitch Collins and Mitch Trewhella to use their pace on the big ground.<\/p>\n
Kyneton takes on South Bendigo at Kyneton Showgrounds.<\/p>\n
The Tigers put in a great effort to be within 23 points of Strathfieldsaye at three quarter-time last round.<\/p>\n
Rhys Magin looms as a major threat to the Bloods defence as Cameron Manuel and Dean Bartrop set up plenty of play.<\/p>\n
The Bloods will be keen to build on the momentum of their win in the Graeme Wright Memorial match against Sandhurst.<\/p>\n
Kaiden Antonowicz, Cooper Leon, Liam Byrne and Isaiah Miller are driving forces for the Nathan Horbury-coached South Bendigo.<\/p>\n
The league\u2019s two breed of Magpie, Castlemaine and Maryborough face huge challenges.<\/p>\n
Held to just two points at Gisborne, Castlemaine is back home at Camp Reserve to take on Strathfieldsaye.<\/p>\n
Storm star Lachlan Sharp has dominated recent hit-outs against the Pies.<\/p>\n
The Don Moran-coached Magpies will look for big games from the likes of Liam Wilkinson, Tommy Horne, Callum McConachy and David Stephens.<\/p>\n
The Rick Andrews-coached Maryborough face a red-hot Gisborne.<\/p>\n
It could be another torrid afternoon for a Pies\u2019 defence as it tries to stop gun forwards Pat McKenna and Jack Scanlon.<\/p>\n
Bulldogs\u2019 on ballers Brad Bernacki, Seb Bell-Bartels, Sam Graham and Scott Walsh are in great form.<\/p>\n
The play of Kya Lanfranchi, Aidan Hare, Coby Perry, Dylan Harberger, Jayden Hooper and Chris Freeman will be a key to the Pies being competitive in every quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
