League News | Colbinabbin won a hard-fought clash with North Bendigo in Saturday’s senior footy action in the Bendigo Bank Heathcote District Football Netball League.
The Grasshoppers and Bulldogs were chasing consecutive victories after they won the season-opening games the previous weekend.
Defences were well on top for most of the first half.
The Julian Bull-coached Colbinabbin was first to goal through James Brain after he was freed in a marking contest.
The Grasshoppers work at stoppages and then slick hands to break away resulted in the ball being passed to Laine Fitzgerald in the clear to goal for a 15-2 lead by quarter-time.
Both teams were down an interchange rotation by half-time.
