MOUNT Pleasant will be fighting to stop North Bendigo\u2019s unbeaten run in Saturday\u2019s tenth round of senior footy in the Bendigo Bank Heathcote DFNL season.<\/p>\n
The Mount’s line-up which is coached by on-field stars Adam Baird and Ben Weightman has home ground advantage at Toolleen for the match of the day.<\/p>\n
The Rob Bennett-coached North Bendigo kicked off the first of eight wins across the first half of the season in a 69-63 result at Hibo Hotel Oval in the first round.<\/p>\n
The Bulldogs had to work incredibly hard to score a 26-point win at Elmore last round as Mounts was beaten by eight points at Lockington.<\/p>\n
Key players for Mounts include Will Wallace, Zebb Murrell and Riley McNamara while top ruckman Chris Down did not play against LBU.<\/p>\n
In-form players for the Bulldogs include wingman Nic Waterson, Jake Hall, Dylan Klemm and Riley Paetow.<\/p>\n
Another important match will be at Winslow Constructors Oval in Scott Street, White Hills where the Demons take on Leitchville Gunbower.<\/p>\n
The White Hills has moved to the third rung on the ladder, while Leitchville Gunbower will be desperate for the points to keep the heat on the fifth-placed Lockington Bamawm United.<\/p>\n
The Shannon Keam-coached Bombers have won their past two games.<\/p>\n
The second-placed Heathcote is at home again at Barrack Reserve to take on Colbinabbin and the Andrew Saladino-coached Saints won on the Grasshoppers\u2019 ground by 33 points in the opening round.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Elmore is on home turf to take on Huntly.<\/p>\n
The Bloods\u2019 pressure across the first half was superb as it held a 27-24 lead against North Bendigo at half-time of last Saturday\u2019s match.<\/p>\n
Jointly coached by Dylan Friedberger and Mick Woolhouse, Elmore will be confident of marking its third win of the season while the Huntly Hawks are yet to win in 2023.<\/p>\n
Lockington Bamawm United has the bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
