MAIDEN Gully YCW Eagles have sights on a fifth win in the Bendigo Bank Loddon Valley Football League when they play Bridgewater this Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Eagles have home-ground advantage at Marist College Bendigo against a fourth-placed Bridgewater on the rebound from a shock 79-82 loss at home to Newbridge.<\/p>\n
Although well beaten at Mitiamo last Saturday, Maiden Gully YCW is still in the chase for the finals.<\/p>\n
The Wayne Mitrovic-coached Eagles must beat Bridgewater and rely on Inglewood winning on home turf against the fifth-placed Bears Lagoon Serpentine.<\/p>\n

Key players for the Eagles include forward Jason Butty, 301-game player Steve Turner in defence, Jessi Lampi and mid-season recruit Damian Wust.<\/p>\n
In round eight, the Rick Ladson-coached Bridgewater beat the Eagles by 64 points as Emile Pavlich, Harry Donegan and Jacob Ellings were best.<\/p>\n
Inglewood will be desperate to break its winless run when it plays Bears Lagoon Serpentine at Dissy Machinery Oval.<\/p>\n
Last time these two teams met the Bears beat the Blues by 81 points with Josh Walsh, Charlie Gadsden, James Bailey and Andy Gladman leading the way.<\/p>\n
Inglewood had the bye last round and will be keen to finish the season strongly.<\/p>\n
Key players for the Blues include Bregon Cotchett, Charlie Ingham, Tom Kennedy and Charlie McGaw.<\/p>\n
After a stunning Bridgewater, Newbridge is on home turf at Holloway Air Riverside Oval facing Pyramid Hill.<\/p>\n
Dylan Lloyd, Caleb Argus, Austin Fithall and Chris Dixon played starring roles for the Luke Freeman-coached Newbridge against the Mean Machine.<\/p>\n

Players to watch for Pyramid Hill include Ed Caburnay, Ryley Dickens, Bailey George, Steven Gunther and Scott Mann.<\/p>\n
The ladder-leading Marong is on home turf at Malone Park to take on Calivil United.<\/p>\n
There will be plenty of interest on Brandyn Grenfell who will start the clash on 137 goals in pursuit of the LVFL season record.<\/p>\n
A red-hot Panthers\u2019 line-up coached by Linton Jacobs includes captain Corey Gregg, Nathan Devanny, Kain Robins and Adam Ward.<\/p>\n
