Match Preview | After three narrow defeats and a draw, Eaglehawk’s senior footy team is desperate to turn fortunes around when it meets South Bendigo in Saturday’s 10th round in the Bendigo Bank Bendigo FNL season.
The Hawks have home-ground advantage at Canterbury Park as the second half of the home-and-away series kicks off.
A 58-48 victory against South Bendigo at Kennington’s Harry Trott in round one kicked off a five-match unbeaten streak by Eaglehawk.
Defeats by margins of three, one and three points, and then a 64-all draw with Sandhurst last round have put the Hawks in fifth place and just two points clear of Kyneton.
After heavy rain in recent days the ball is likely to be at ground level a lot.
A Hawks’ defence that includes Clayton Holmes, Sam Thompson and Dylan Hanley faces a huge task against Bloods’ small forwards in Steven Stroobants, Brock Harvey and Will Keck.
A highlight will be the ruck contests were the Hawks have Connor Dalgleish up against Mac Cameron.
