Match Previews | MOUNT Pleasant faces a big test on the netball court when it plays Elmore in Saturday’s 13th round in the Bendigo Bank Heathcote DFNL season.

The Blues have home-court advantage at Toolleen as they take on the Bloods.

Both take winning form into Saturday’s clash between the league’s third and fifth-placed teams.

Mount Pleasant won last Saturday’s match against Leitchville Gunbower at Gunbower by 29 goals.

It was a spirited match between Elmore and the Harlowe Huntly Hawks.

At the final siren the Bloods led 44-39.

Earlier in the season Elmore beat the Anthea McCleary-coached Mount Pleasant by 17 goals.

Now coached by Cayde Hayes, playing, and Hayley Langdon, Elmore has a tally of six wins, four defeats and a draw.

It’s been a superb effort by Mount Pleasant to be on an eight-three record rolling into Saturday’s test with Elmore.

Another important match will be at Huntly’s Strauch Reserve where the Hawks take on North Bendigo.

A win for Huntly and a loss for Mount Pleasant would put the Hawks level with the brown and gold on 32 premiership points.
