Match Previews | Another chapter in the rivalry between Marong and Pyramid Hill will be written in Saturday’s second semi-final in the Bendigo Bank Loddon Valley FNL footy finals action.

The Panthers and Bulldogs will clash in Bridgewater from 2.15pm.

At stake is first to the grand final and a week’s rest.

These clubs met in last season’s grand final which went the way of Marong.

The Linton Jacobs-coached Marong is in pursuit of a premiership hat-trick.

Pyramid Hill is desperate to break a premiership drought which has run since 1950.

The Nathan Fitzpatrick-coached Bulldogs carry in confidence from the 71-66 victory when it last met Marong in the 12th round at Pyramid Hill’s Mitchell Park.

Earlier in the season Marong marked a 79-71 win in the round three match at East West Oval in Malone Park.

The finals series kicked off with last Saturday’s qualifying finals where Pyramid Hill outplayed and outran Bears-Lagoon Serpentine in a 123-35 result at Marist College in Maiden Gully.
