League Review | South Bendigo fought from a 13-point deficit at the start of the final term to win by three points at Kyneton in round four of the Bendigo Bank Bendigo Football Netball League’s senior footy season on Saturday.
There was plenty at stake between two teams who are likely to be fighting to occupy the fourth and fifth rungs and a place in the finals series.
The Nathan Horbury-coached South Bendigo led 26-18 at quarter-time, but the Tigers fought back to make it 47-all by the long break.
Led by the play of Dean Bartrop, Frazer Driscoll and Andrew Beckerley, the Paul Chapman-coached Kyneton won the crucial third term, 33-20.
The Bloods lifted their intensity and workrate at stoppages and through the midfield in the last to score 3.5 to 1.1 as they surged to a 90-87 victory.
