WHITE Hills will fight to keep the heat on Heathcote in Saturday\u2019s sixteenth round in the Bendigo Bank Heathcote District Football League.<\/p>\n
The Demons and Saints will meet in a huge clash on the Scott Street ground in White Hills.<\/p>\n
Sixth on the ladder, White Hills is a win and eight per cent behind the fifth-placed Saints.<\/p>\n
In the run home, Heathcote has the bye in round 17 and then faces Leitchville-Gunbower at home.<\/p>\n
The Demons also play Leitchville-Gunbower in the 17th round and are at home against Huntly a week later.<\/p>\n
When the Saints and Demons met in round seven Heathcote won by eight goals.<\/p>\n
In-form players for the Andrew Saladino-coached Saints include Braden Padmore, Will Direen and Shaun Harrison.<\/p>\n
The Demons had the bye last weekend after a hard-fought 13-point win at Elmore in the 15th round.<\/p>\n
Another big match will be at Hibo Hotel Oval in Atkins Street, North Bendigo where the Bulldogs take on the ladder-leading Lockington Bamawm United.<\/p>\n
A round seven thriller at Lockington ended in a 10-point win for the Cats.<\/p>\n
LBU beat Mount Pleasant by 23 points last Saturday with Tyler Phillips, Jarod Bacon and Riley McIvor leading the way.<\/p>\n
A key for North Bendigo will be the centre clearances and stoppages where ruckman Jeremy Lambden is in hot form for the red, white and blue.<\/p>\n
Other key players for the Bulldogs include Jordan Ford, Dylan Klemm, Nic Waterson and Sam Demeo.<\/p>\n
Colbinabbin tackles Huntly on the Grasshoppers\u2019 turf at M. J. Morgan Reserve in Colbinabbin.<\/p>\n
The Grasshoppers are likely to have too much midfield run and attacking power for the Hawks to stop across four quarters.<\/p>\n
Colbinabbin\u2019s best in the win at Gunbower were James Brain, Laine Fitzgerald and Michael Battista.<\/p>\n
The Stacy Fiske-coached Hawks worked hard against North Bendigo as Harrison Campbell, Jake Maher and Tyler Miles won plenty of contests.<\/p>\n
Elmore is at home against Leitchville-Gunbower with the Bloods confident of marking their third win of the season.<\/p>\n
Elmore vice-captain Darcy Laffy kicked six goals at Heathcote and will test the Bombers defence.<\/p>\n
Key players for the Bloods include Zack Holmberg, captain Nic Kellow, and co-coach Dylan Gordon.<\/p>\n
Leitchville-Gunbower has not won since the round two triumph at Huntly\u2019s Strauch Reserve.<\/p>\n
Jobee Warde, Billy Hawken and Joel Regan played well in LG\u2019s latest clash.<\/p>\n
Mount Pleasant has the bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
