HAVING grabbed top spot on the ladder, Heathcote faces the fired-up Demons from White Hills in this Saturday\u2019s 12th round of senior footy in the Bendigo Bank Heathcote DFNL season.<\/p>\n
The Andrew Saladino-coached Saints are on home turf at Barrack Reserve in Heathcote to face a team refreshed by the bye.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s plenty riding on the result of this contest.<\/p>\n
A win for Heathcote would strengthen its grip on the top rung, while a victory for the Demons would lift them into the top-three.<\/p>\n
In round three, Heathcote and White Hills played one of the games of the season as the Demons marked a 115-113 result under lights at Winslow Constructors Oval in White Hills.<\/p>\n
On that occasion the classy Kaiden Antononwicz kicked nine goals for the Demons, and Corey Grindlay booted eight for the Saints.<\/p>\n
A broken finger means Grindlay is on the sidelines for this Saturday\u2019s rematch.<\/p>\n
On a three-game winning streak, Lockington Bamawm United is back home at Nichol Trading Oval to take on the Harlowe Huntly Hawks.<\/p>\n
The Stacy Fiske-coached Cats showed they are a team to be reckoned with as they beat North Bendigo by six goals at Lockington last Saturday.<\/p>\n
LBU won three of four quarters as Jeremy Mundie, Ben Holman, Charlie Hinks and Tyler Phillips led the way in an 86-50 victory.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Mount Pleasant takes on Colbinabbin at Toolleen.<\/p>\n
These clubs met in last season\u2019s preliminary final, but fortunes have changed greatly since then.<\/p>\n
The Adam Baird and Ben Weightman-coached Mounts are third on a seven and three record.<\/p>\n
A talented team in navy blue includes William Wallace, Mitch Rovers, Chris Down and Bryce Hinneberg.<\/p>\n
Colbinabbin is two, seven and one after the Jed Brain-coached Grasshoppers drew last Saturday\u2019s home game against Elmore.<\/p>\n
The Dylan Friedberger and Mick Woolhouse-coached Elmore is back at home to take on Leitchville Gunbower.<\/p>\n
Although beaten, Leitchville Gunbower took it right up to Heathcote in last Saturday\u2019s match at Gunbower.<\/p>\n
Bombers\u2019 ruckman Jobee Warde, co-captain Jye Keath, Billy Hawken and Clay McGregor were in top form in a 64-71 result for the Shannon Keam-coached team against the Saints.<\/p>\n
