Match Previews | Bridgewater takes on the ladder-leading Mitiamo in this Saturday’s eighth round of A-grade netball action in the Bendigo Bank Loddon Valley FNL season.

A Bridgewater line-up jointly coached by Caz Wood and Olivia Collicoat will be chasing its fifth win of the season.

The Mean Machine starts this round in fourth place, but only a victory behind top three teams in Mitiamo, Pyramid Hill and Newbridge.

In the lead-up to the bye in Reconciliation Round played last Saturday, Bridgewater had won its previous two matches against Bears-Lagoon Serpentine, 45-34, and at Marong, 61-35.

Huge challenge for the team in red and white against an opponent beaten just once so far.

The Jen Wilson-coached Mitiamo bounced back from a five-goal loss on its court at John Forbes Oval against Pyramid Hill in round five to win its next two games against Inglewood and Bears-Lagoon Serpentine.

Margins were 53 and 23 goals.

Another important match will be at Gadsden Finance Serpentine Reserve.
