Match Previews | A win at Eaglehawk will bolster Kyneton’s finals credentials as the Bendigo Bank Bendigo FNL marks Indigenous Round on Saturday.
The match between the Hawks and Tigers at Eaglehawk’s Canterbury Park is feature match in a round where the league promotes an opportunity for education, and recognition of First Nations people and their contribution to our great game. It’s not just premiership points on the line as the Hawks and Tigers senior footy and A-grade netball will vie for the Wirama Shield.
Best afield medals will also be presented.
For the first time this season the Travis Matheson-coached Eaglehawk is on the rebound from defeat after a 71-74 result on Kangaroo Flat’s ground at Dower Park.
Eaglehawk is strengthened by the return of former St Kilda captain Jarryn Geary at half-back, and by Kallen Geary at half-forward.
The Hawks also welcome back Sam Harper who spent last summer playing in the Northern Territory.
Harper was named at centre half-forward in an attack that includes Darcy Richards, Lewin Davis and Liam Marciano.
