League Review | Mount Pleasant capped a brilliant final term fightback to beat Colbinabbin in Saturday’s ninth round of the Bendigo Bank Heathcote District Football Netball League’s senior footy season.

The Blues and Grasshoppers met in the match of the day on Mount Pleasant’s turf at Toolleen.

The Blues went into the match without gun on-baller Adam Baird, leg injury, but he was on the sidelines as co-coach with Darren Walsh.

Mounts led 38-26 at half-time, but the unbeaten Colbinabbin lifted its intensity and workrate to win the third term, 38-18.

Stung by a one-point defeat at North Bendigo the previous round the third-placed Mounts needed the win to hold a four-point buffer to the Bulldogs.
