The Weekly Advertiser | A tantalising round of Wimmera league matches ensue this week, starting with the annual Anzac Day clash between two cross-town rivals.

Horsham Demons will host Horsham Saints at city oval on Thursday evening – with the first of the junior matches starting at 1pm, followed by other grades throughout the afternoon before the senior game at 6.35pm after an Anzac ceremony.

Both the Demons and Saints come off round one losses, making the annual traditional match even more important.

The Demons were right in their match against reigning premiers Ararat, with just one point separating the two sides at three-quarter time.

But the Rats put their foot on the accelerator in the final term, piling on five goals to the Demons’ one to score a 29-point win.

The Saints come off a tough 44-point loss to Stawell, who led at every change in a dominant display.

Stawell coach Tom Eckel said a highlight was the performance of Ash Driscoll, with five goals, in his second match for the Warriors.
