Match Previews | The evenness of the Hampden League has been noticeable during early rounds of the season. It appears no match in 2023 is going to be an easy game as already, we have seen some strong improvements from the sides who finished outside the top five last year.
Terang Mortlake produced the goods in their encounter against North Warrnambool. The Bloods scored well in a game that was a twilight fixture and had very greasy conditions. Cobden’s early season emergence has been impressive, with a dominating performance against Hamilton. The Bombers are a quick ball-movement side that have a strong midfield and balanced forward line. And despite not retrieving the four points, Port Fairy are going to register some good wins this season and push the top sides. A stark contrast to the 2022 team, which is a positive for the competition.
