WEEKEND pennant for teams across the Bendigo leg of Bendigo Campaspe Goldfields bowls resumes this Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Leaders in the division two premiership race, Heathcote, will play on Strathfieldsaye’s greens from 1.30pm.<\/p>\n
When these clubs met in round four it was the Saints who triumphed 16-84 to 2-71 on Heathcote’s turf.<\/p>\n

It’s a must-win match for Heathcote in its division six match at home against Woodbury.<\/p>\n

The Saints roll into this Saturday’s match in sixth place, eight points adrift of the fifth-placed Woodbury and 13 behind fourth-placed Kangaroo Flat.<\/p>\n
Midweek pennant resumes next Monday at 10am.<\/p>\n
The fourth-placed Saints take on the ladder-leading White Hills in the Demons’ den in Bosquet Street.<\/p>\n
Wet weather meant the Saints and Demons did not contest the round five match at Heathcote on 3 November.<\/p>\n
The Saints rolled into the break for Christmas and New Year by scoring a two-shot win at home against Castlemaine.<\/p>\n
A top contest ended in a 12-49 to 4-47 victory for the red, white and black.<\/p>\n
