Match Previews | A SHOWDOWN between the second and third-placed Pyramid Hill and Newbridge highlights Saturday’s 10th round of A-grade netball in the Bendigo Bank Loddon Valley FNL season.

Pyramid Hill has home-court advantage at Mitchell Park for a crucial test with the Maroons.

Both teams scored impressive wins last round.

Pyramid Hill won on Maiden Gully YCW Eagles’ court by 31 goals and Newbridge won at Marong’s Jackal Oval by 10 goals.

When Newbridge and Pyramid Hill met in round one it was the Bulldogs who claimed a 51-44 victory at Deepcore Drilling Riverside Oval in Newbridge.

Sole defeat for a Pyramid Hill team coached by Chelsea Emmerson, Simone Edgley and Laura Herbert was to Mitiamo.

The Selina Holland and Kristy Gandy-coached Newbridge is now on a win-loss tally of six-two and well-placed to feature in the finals action.

Another big match on Saturday will be at Gadsden Finance Serpentine Reserve where the Bears take on Bridgewater.

In round one the Bears clawed their way to a 45-43 victory on Bridgewater’s court.

Stung by a three-goal loss to Calivil United on its court last round, Bears-Lagoon Serpentine is still a win and now more than 11 per cent adrift of the fifth-placed Marong.
