Match Previews | Locked on 10 wins apiece, North Bendigo and White Hills meet in a crucial 16th round of the Bendigo Bank Heathcote DFNL senior footy action.
It’s third against second on North Bendigo’s turf at Hibo Hotel Oval in Atkins Street from 2.30pm.
The winner will still have a chance of grabbing top spot at the end of the home and away series.
After an eight-nil start to the season, North Bendigo’s form tapered off throughout July.
Past four hit-outs for the Rob Bennett-coached Bulldogs have been a loss at Lockington, wins against Huntly and Colbinabbin, and 31-point loss to Leitchville Gunbower at Gunbower.
The Jack Fallon and Jake Pallpratt-coached Demons ended July on a win-loss tally of 3-1.
After a loss to Heathcote at Pigeon Park in Barrack Reserve, White Hills has struck back to beat Elmore, Mount Pleasant and Lockington Bamawm United.
For North Bendigo a key factor will be its play at centre ball-ups and stoppages.
